Modulated zero-area solitary pulses: properties and applications

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

This paper investigates a specific kind of solitary pulse, the modulated zero-area (MZA) solitary pulse, when propagating within MgO photonic bandgap medium doped with silver nanoparticles (NPs). It will be shown that two coupled MZA pulses do propagate unattenuated within this medium but for a certain combination of the dipole moments and the density of the NPs. More important, and in contrast to the other kinds of solitary pulses, one of the two MZA pulses exhibits a slowing in its group velocity in comparison to the other one, depending on the amplitudes of the components of the dipole moments of the NPs that are in resonance with the two MZA pulses. With this particular feature, the system has the potential of working as an all-optical switch.
