Abstract

An all-optical buildup control over a defect that mediates the light slowing, pinning, retrieval, and fusion is found in a resonance photonic crystal. The departures from the self-induced transparency are found and analyzed.

We discuss the conditions under which photonic crystal dispersion can be used to enhance light-matter interactions, e.g. by increasing the absorption sensitivity or the degree of light-speed control obtained via electromagnetically induced transparency.

Gap soliton gating, dissociation, and retrieval via defect mode excitation in a resonant photonic crystal

Igor V. Mel’nikov, James Stewart Aitchison

We consider the interaction within a bunch of two coherent optical pulses in a one dimensional, resonant photonic crystal which includes a defect produced by a coherent pump. Using numerical methods, the defect is shown to provide a selective reversible trap for a gap soliton mediated by the long-range coupling. This opens up new opportunities for signal transmission control and light localization.
