Compact, spatial-mode-interaction-free, ultralow-loss, nonlinear photonic integrated circuits

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Rui Ning Wang, Johann Emmeram Riemensberger, Jijun He, Zheru Qiu, Xinru Ji

Multi-mode waveguides are ubiquitously used in integrated photonics. Although interaction among different spatial waveguide eigenmodes can induce novel nonlinear phenomena, spatial mode interaction is typically undesired. Adiabatic bends, such as Euler ben ...

Fiber Buckling in Confined Viscous Flows: An Absolute Instability Described by the Linear Ginzburg-Landau Equation

François Gallaire

We explore the dynamics of a flexible fiber transported by a viscous flow in a Hele-Shaw cell of height comparable to the fiber height. We show that long fibers aligned with the flow experience a buckling instability. Competition between viscous and elasti ...

Single-shot observation of breathers from noise-induced modulation instability using heterodyne temporal imaging

Alexey Tikan

We report phase and amplitude measurements of large coherent structures originating from the noise-induced modulation instability in optical fibers. By using a specifically designed time-lens system (SEAHORSE) in which aberrations are compensated, the comp ...
