Rectification of light refraction in curved waveguide arrays

Optics 2015-05-14 v1

Abstract

An 'optical ratchet' for discretized light in photonic lattices, which enables to observe rectification of light refraction at any input beam conditions, is theoretically presented, and a possible experimental implementation based on periodically-curved zigzag waveguide arrays is proposed.
