Nonlinearity and disorder in optical fiber arrays
Tuesday March 27, 2007
11:30AM - 12:00PM
Speakers:
Alejandro Aceves
Abstract:
The phenomenon of light propagation in optical fiber arrays presents to us a
unique nonlinear system to study light localization in a discrete
disordered system. This disorder is due to manufacturing imperfections
resulting in unequal spacing between neighbor fibers. Our results
will show how discrete linear diffraction, random coupling modeled as
linear multiplicative noise and self-focusing nonlinearity compete to
either enhance or deter spatial localization.
