Bistable optical behavior of a nonlinear attenuated total reflection device: Resonant excitation of nonlinear guided modes

R. Reinisch, P. Arlot, Guy Vitrant +1 more

We study the prism excitation of a nonlinear waveguide. The nonlinear medium is the substrate which exhibits Kerr effect. Our results show that such a device experiences optical bistability. We also show that there exists a close link between optical bistability and resonant excitation of nonlinear guided modes propagating along this nonlinear waveguide.

Few-cycle pulse-driven excitation response of resonant medium with nonlinear field coupling

A. V. Pakhomov, Rostislav M. Arkhipov, Ihar Babushkin +2 more

Abstract We study theoretically the optical response of the resonant medium on the few-cycle pulse-driven excitation for different types of the coupling strength to the field. It is demonstrated that the medium can exhibit a specific excitation response depending on the field coupling nonlinearity. Remarkably, the analysis of this response revealed the possibility of the controllable generation and shaping of unipolar optical pulses, which can be important in real-time observation and time-domain control of ultrafast processes in matter.

Bistable optical devices by guided wave excitation

A. Köster, P. Martinot, Fabrice Pardo +3 more

Most of the intrinsic optical devices which have been studied in recent years consist of a Fabry-Perot resonator containing a nonlinear medium. The response time of such devices is determined by the transients associated with the high-Q resonator and the response time of the nonlinear medium. The fastest devices must be free of any Fabry-Perot cavity. The excitation of either surface plasmons at a nonlinear interface or guided waves in thin nonlinear films is a way to obtain an ultrafast bistable optical device. These two kinds of device have been studied.
