We report the experimental observation of dispersive wave emission from gray solitons propagating in the normal dispersion region of an optical fiber. Besides observing for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the emission of a dispersive wave from an isolated dark soliton, we show that the dispersive wave frequency and amplitude strongly depend on soliton grayness. This process can be explained by the higher-order dispersion contribution into the phase-matching condition and the grayness of the soliton. Numerical simulations and theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the experiments.

Soliton Dynamics over a Disordered Topography.

We report on the dynamics of a soliton propagating on the surface of a fluid in a 4-m-long canal with a random or periodic bottom topography. Using a full space-and-time resolved wave field measurement, we evidence, for the first time experimentally, how the soliton is affected by the disorder, in the context of Anderson localization, and how localization depends on nonlinearity. For weak soliton amplitudes, the localization length is found in quantitative agreement with a linear shallow-water theory.

In this study, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a terahertz on-chip topological pathway that exhibits exceptional transmission robustness, unaffected by structural curvature. The pathway is constructed using a subwavelength structure that combines the benefits of topological properties, such as broadband single-mode transmission and linear dispersion, with the field localization effects of periodic metal structures.

However, the intensity of the STWP is constrained by the low damage threshold of some indispensable optical elements like the spatial light modulator (SLM). While optical parametric amplification (OPA) has been proposed for amplifying STWPs, spatio-temporal (ST) characteristics of amplified STWPs remain significantly unexplored.

Nonlinear frequency division multiplexing (NFDM), which is based on the NFT concept, has been shown to offer immunity against Kerr nonlinearity and dispersion in optical fiber transmission systems. However, some issues such as relatively low achievable information rate (AIR) and the interaction of the optical signal with the inline amplifier noise still constitute a major setback for NFT-based schemes.

August 2024
A topology optimization method is presented and applied to a blazed diffraction grating in reflection under conical incidence. This type of grating is meant to disperse the incident light on one particular diffraction order, and this property is fundamental in spectroscopy. Conventionally, a blazed metallic grating is made of a sawtooth profile designed to work with the ±1st diffraction order in reflection.
