We present a simple, and robust method for writing long period fiber gratings with low polarization dependent losses. Our method is based on utilizing mechanical vibrations of the tapered fiber while pooling it. Our method enables real-time…
Scattering of waves due to a vertical array of equally-spaced cracks on a square lattice is studied. The convenience of Floquet periodicity reduces the study to that of scattering of specific wave-mode from single crack in a waveguide. The…
Here we employ both dynamic and geometric phase control of light to produce radially modulated vector-vortex modes, the natural modes of optical fibers. We then measure these modes using a vector modal decomposition set-up as well as a…
We consider a nonlinear dielectric medium surrounding a static, charged and spherically symmetric compact body which gravitational field is driven by General Relativity (GR). Considering the propagating waves on the dielectric medium, we…
It is shown in this paper that the light field distribution in a band gap within periodic structures for one-dimensional photonic crystal fibers is described by a decaying factor multiplied by a periodical function that has the same period…
We investigate the gradual emergence of the disorder-related phenomena in intermediate regimes between a deterministic periodic Bragg grating and a fully random grating and highlight two critical properties of partially disordered Bragg…
We demonstrate low-threshold random lasing in random amplifying layered medium via photon localization. Lasing is facilitated by resonant excitation of localized modes at the pump laser wavelength, which are peaked deep within the sample…
Geometric optics effectively describes the propagation of electromagnetic waves when the wavelength is much smaller than the characteristic length scale of the medium, making wave phenomena like diffraction negligible. As a result, light…
We study the cooperative optical coupling between regularly spaced atoms in a one-dimensional waveguide using decompositions to subradiant and superradiant collective excitation eigenmodes, direct numerical solutions, and analytical…
Localization of light requires high-Q cavities or spatial disorder, yet the wave nature of light may open novel opportunities. Here we suggest to employ Mie-tronics as a powerful approach to achieve the hybridization of different resonances…
We report the experimental demonstration of modulation instability process assisted by a dispersion grating in an optical fiber. A simple analytical model is developed to further analyze and explain the complex dynamics of this process,…
We show that truncated rotating square waveguide arrays support new types of localized modes that exist even in the linear case, in complete contrast to localized excitations in nonrotating arrays requiring nonlinearity for their existence…
We present a method to demonstrate Anderson localization in an optically induced randomized potential. By usage of computer controlled spatial light modulators, we are able to implement fully randomized nondiffracting beams of variable…
It is proposed that the propagation of light in disordered photonic lattices can be harnessed as a random projection that preserves distances between a set of projected vectors. This mapping is enabled by the complex evolution matrix of a…
Turbulence is a challenging feature common to a wide range of complex phenomena. Random fibre lasers are a special class of lasers in which the feedback arises from multiple scattering in a one-dimensional disordered cavity-less medium.…
This chapter is a pedagogical review of methods and results for studying wave propagation in one-dimensional complex structures. We describe and compare the tight-binding, scattering matrix, transfer matrix and Riccati formalisms. We…
Moire lattices consist of two identical periodic structures overlaid with a relative rotation angle. Present even in everyday life, moire lattices have been also produced, e.g., with coupled graphene-hexagonal boron nitride monolayers,…
We demonstrate that a weak disorder in atomic positions introduces spatially localized optical modes in a dense three-dimensional ensemble of immobile two-level atoms arranged in a diamond lattice and coupled by the electromagnetic field.…
We investigate the simultaneous propagation of multiple beams in a disordered Anderson localized optical fiber. The profiles of each beam fall off exponentially, enabling multiple channels at high-density. We examine the influence of fiber…
We review some recent (mostly ours) results on the Anderson localization of light and electron waves in complex disordered systems, including: (i) left-handed metamaterials, (ii) magneto-active optical structures, (iii) graphene…
