Nonlinear spectral demultiplexing in arrays of curved waveguides

In this paper, curved nonlinear waveguide arrays are specially designed and numerically nonlinearly-induced symmetry breaking of the output beam profile is demonstrated. This phenomenon facilitates possibilities for tunable all-optical sorting of input ultra-broad spectrum beams into narrow spectrum...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:In this paper, curved nonlinear waveguide arrays are specially designed and numerically nonlinearly-induced symmetry breaking of the output beam profile is demonstrated. This phenomenon facilitates possibilities for tunable all-optical sorting of input ultra-broad spectrum beams into narrow spectrum output channels, realizing demultiplexing of individual spectral components.
