Application of the Non-Linear Eikonal Treatment to the Design of Optical Bistable Devices

Meir Orenstein, Shammai Speiser, Jacob Katriel

Recently we have developed [1,2] the non-1inear-complex-eikonal approximation. Our goal was to set a standard mathematical treatment for the analysis of the propagation of light waves through non-linear media. The linear eikonal approximation is a cornerstone for optical systems design and we hope that the non-linear eikonal method will gain some of the universality of its linear counterpart.

Transfer formalism for quantum optics problems

В. Н. Горбачев, A. I. Zhiliba

A consistent quantum formalism based on the localized basis of the Wannier functions in the Heisenberg and Schrödinger pictures to describe propagation of an electromagnetic field in a three-dimensional media including diffraction is presented. In the Schrödinger picture the Fokker-Planck equation for the Glauber-Sudarshan quasi-probability and the corresponding Langevin equations are given. As a result the spacetime description is obtained by a simple change of variables in the temporal master equation of the field. Using this formalism it is shown that the existence of integrals of motion in the propagation of light in a medium under the condition of non-degenerated parametric and two-photon interactions results in amplification of modes when non-classical properties of the light are conserved. Quantum propagation of light in a linear medium taking into account the diffraction is considered and its solution is found.

Propagation and asymmetric behavior of optical pulses through time-dynamic loss–gain-assisted media

Piyali Biswas, Harsh K. Gandhi, Vaibhab Mishra +1 more

We report an asymmetric behavior of optical pulses during their propagation through a time-varying linear optical medium. The refractive index of the medium is considered to be varying with time and complex, such that a sufficient amount of gain and loss is present to realize their effect on pulse propagation. We have exploited the universal formula for optical fields in time-varying media. Numerically simulated results reveal that pulses undergo opposite temporal shifts around their initial center position during their bi-directional propagation through the medium along with corresponding spectral shifts. Moreover, the peak power and accumulated chirp (time derivative of accumulated phase) of the output pulse in both propagation directions are also opposite in nature, irrespective of their initial state. Numerically simulated behavior of the pulses agrees well with the analytical solutions.
