    Generation of slow intense optical solitons in a resonance photonic crystal

    We demonstrate interesting and previously unforeseen properties of a pair of gap solitons in a resonant photonic crystal which are predicted and explained in a physically transparent form using both analytical and numerical methods. The most important result is the fact that an oscillating gap soliton created by the presence of a localized population inversion inside the crystal can be manipulated by means of a proper choice of bit rate, phase and amplitude modulation. Developing this idea, we are able to obtain qualitatively different regimes of a resonant photonic crystal operation. In particular, a noteworthy observation is that both the delay time and amplitude difference must exceed a certain level to ensure effective control over the soliton dynamics

    Delocalization in an open one-dimensional chain in an imaginary vector potential

    We present first results for the transmittance, T, through a 1D disordered system with an imaginary vector potential, ih, which provide a new analytical criterion for a delocalization transition in the model. It turns out that the position of the critical curve on the complex energy plane (i.e. the curve where an exponential decay of is changed by a power-law one) is different from that obtained previously from the complex energy spectra. Corresponding curves for or are also different. This happens because of different scales of the exponential decay of one-particle Green's functions (GF) defining the spectra and many-particle GF governing transport characteristics, and reflects higher-order correlations in localized eigenstates of the non-Hermitian model.Comment: 4 pages in RevTex, 1 eps figure include

    Deviations from the Gaussian distribution of mesoscopic conductance fluctuations

    Get PDF
    The conductance distribution of metallic mesoscopic systems is considered. The variance of this distribution describes the universal conductance fluctuations, yielding a Gaussian distribution of the conductance. We calculate diagrammatically the third cumulant of this distribution, the leading deviation from the Gaussian. We confirm random matrix theory calculations that the leading contribution in quasi-one dimension vanishes. However, in quasi two dimensions the third cumulant is negative, whereas in three dimensions it is positive.Comment: 9 pages, Revtex, with eps figures,to appear in Phys Rev

    The timing jitter suppression of subpicosecond optical solitons during their transmission over long distant fibre

    Full text link
    Limitation of the transmission rate in optical soliton high bit rate (5 Gbits/s and higher) and ultralong (up to 10,000 km) information transmission systems is mainly due to soliton timing jitter, which is concerned with interaction of solitons with the spontaneous noise of optical amplifiers (Gordon-Haus effect)1 and electrostrictional soliton long-range interaction.2 The methods of the soliton timing jitter suppression were proposed.3,4 Similar problems arise when teraherz sequence of subpicosecond solitons have to be transmitted through long fibre of up to 100 km length. In this paper we propose the original method of the timing jitter suppression of subpicosecond solitons. The method is based on the soliton frequency stabilization due to the joint action of differential spectral amplification of soliton and Raman self-frequency shift.</jats:p
