Single-Cycle Gap Soliton in a Subwavelength Structure

Xiao-Tao Xie, Mihai Macovei

We demonstrate that a single subcycle optical pulse can be generated when a pulse with a few optical cycles penetrates through resonant two-level dense media with a subwavelength structure. The single-cycle gap soliton phenomenon in the full Maxwell-Bloch equations without the frame of the slowly varying envelope and rotating wave approximations is observed. Our study shows that the subwavelength structure can be used to suppress the frequency shift caused by intrapulse four-wave mixing in continuous media and supports the formation of single-cycle gap solitons even in the case when the structure period breaks the Bragg condition. This suggests a way toward shortening high-intensity laser fields to few- and even single-cycle pulse durations.

Four-Wave Mixing of Spontaneously Created Exciton-Polariton Condensates

We observe degenerate four-wave mixing of exciton-polariton condensates in a semiconductor microcavity in the pulsed non-resonant excitation regime by colliding two counter propagating condensates, which forms an anisotropic halo in k-space.

Stability analysis and temporal evolution of degenerate four-wave mixing and phase-conjugate lasers

Claude Paré, Michel Piché, Pierre‐André Bélanger

The phase-conjugate reflectivity produced by degenerate four-wave mixing in a Kerr medium in the Bragg scattering regime is shown to be unstable when the intensity of the external pump beams is greater than a threshold value that can be predicted analytically. Below this threshold, a single branch of the reflectivity curve is stable, eliminating any possibility for bistability. A numerical simulation indicates that the unstable regime is characterized by fast oscillations with a period related to the transit time in the nonlinear medium. A finite relaxation time of the nonlinearity eliminates the high-frequency oscillations but can increase the amplitude of the low-frequency components. The insertion of a phase-conjugate mirror into an optical cavity leads to an instability whose threshold can be evaluated analytically. The temporal evolution of the field intensity in the cavity is shown to change from a stable regime to periodic oscillations and then to quasi-periodic oscillations as the pump intensity is increased.
