Abstract

We demonstrate previously unforeseen properties of stable propagation and trapping of a higher-order solitons of self-induced transparency which is mediated by an inversion inside the resonance photonic crystal.

Slow light generation in a resonance photonic crystal

We demonstrate interesting and previously unforeseen properties of a pair of gap solitons in a resonant photonic crystal which can be predicted and explained in a physically transparent form using both analytical and numerical methods. The most important result is the fact that we are able to show that the oscillating gap soliton created by the presence of an inversion inside the crystal can be manipulated by means of a proper choice of bit rate, phase and amplitude modulation. Using this approach, we were able to obtain qualitatively different regimes of the resonant photonic crystal operation. A noticeable observation is that both the delay time and amplitude difference must exceed a certain level to ensure effective control over soliton dynamics. The modification of the defect that accomplishes the soliton trapping can make the dynamics of N soliton trains in the resonant photonic crystal with defects even more interesting and is a subject of the future work.

All-optical defect and slow light in a superradiant photonic crystal

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.

Giant nonlinearities via simultaneous electromagnetically- and self-induced transparencies in doped photonic crystals

Photonic crystals doped with resonant atoms allow for an efficient cross-coupling between pulses exhibiting electromagnetically induced transparency and self-induced transparency gap solitons. These features may find applications in high-fidelity classical and quantum optical communications.

Gap soliton and quasi-linear 2π pulse in continuous resonant photonic crystals

Фролова Лидия Владимировна, Alexander A. Skorynin, Boris I. Mantsyzov

Nonlinear interaction of coherent intensive optical radiation with continuous resonant photonic crystal (RPC) is analytically and numerically studied in the framework of semiclassical approach using the two-wave Maxwell–Bloch equations. The analytical solution being the gap soliton of self-induced transparency is obtained in the case of an initially unexcited continuous RPC. This solution is confirmed numerically. Influence of both initial inversion and resonant atom concentration function profile on the pulse dynamics in continuous RPC is analyzed. Suppression of the Bragg reflection and a “quasi-linear” 2π pulse propagation in the case of zero initial inversion in continuous RPC is shown. The possibility of laser pulse compression using slow spatial changing of resonant atom concentration is demonstrated.
