The peculiar nonlinear optical responses of two-dimensional (2D) materials endow them highly attractive for photonics applications. This review systematically discusses the performance of pulsed lasers employing 2D materials as their modulation device. First, it is crucial to categorize 2D materials that can act as saturable absorbers, encompassing a range of substances such as Graphene, Black Phosphorus, Topological Insulators, MXene, and even heterojunction. Furthermore, a thorough investigation is conducted to analyze the performance indexes to study the nonlinear characteristics of 2D materials in the pulse generation. Especially, the focus is on the 1.5 μ m band ultrafast lasers utilizing 2D materials. This paper also provides a comprehensive analysis of the obstacles and prospects in 2D materials preparation, and their utilization in the pulse laser systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers possess large second-order nonlinear susceptibility and have shown great potentials in on-chip nonlinear optical devices. However, the thickness of TMD monolayers is less than 1 nm, resulting in a rather low second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency. In this paper, we propose a physical scheme of enhancing SHG of TMD monolayers with edge plasmon. As a proof of concept demonstration, we constructed a hexagonal gold nanoplates/monolayer WS2 heterostructure with high interface quality. By performing SHG measurements, we show that SHG was enhanced by a factor of about 60. Our results set a foundation for on-chip nonlinear optical applications with TMD monolayers.

In this paper, we study one-dimensional discrete solitons in zigzag waveguide arrays with competitive cubic-quintic nonlinearity and competitive linear mixing between the nearest-neighbor (NN) and next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) couplings. The competitive nonlinearity features a cubic self-focusing associated with a quintic self-defocusing nonlinearities. The competitive linear mixing between the NN and NNN couplings is induced by making the two coefficients opposite of each other, which is assumed to be induced by the embedding synthetic gauge phase within the coupling constants. The combination of these two types of competition, linear mixing and nonlinearity can create four types of soliton: multipeak bell-shaped solitons, multipeak flat-top solitons, staggered bell-shaped solitons, and staggered flat-top solitons. The stability and dynamics of these types of solitons are verified systematically through the paper. The total power and the types of competition between the linear mixing play important roles in tuning these solitons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The model given by Patil et al., for the self-focusing of lowest-order Bessel–Gaussian laser beam, is revisited by introducing the exponential plasma density ramp in this paper. Plasma density changes due to combined effect of the relativistic and ponderomotive nonlinearities, which arise due to the nonuniform spatial profile of the laser beam leading to stronger self-focusing. Under paraxial ray approximation, the expression for the evolution of laser-beam width parameter is obtained and solved numerically in order to achieve self-focusing. We have observed that as Bessel beam propagates through the plasma, it does not diffract and spread out, which is in contrast to the usual behavior of light that spreads out after being focused down to the small spot. Laser spot size decreases considerably under the presence of exponential density ramp. This study will be useful for better understanding the self-focusing mechanism of lasers as it becomes effective for the optimized parameters under the proposed situation. Bessel laser beams play an important role in enhancing the energy gain in laser-driven accelerators. In addition, for all laser-driven plasma-based accelerators, it appears possible to guide a laser beam over large distances using a plasma density channel, thus enhancing the acceleration length and the energy gain.

In this paper, we address a newly nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) in (2 + 1) -dimensions influenced by cubic–quintic–septic law nonlinearity and spatial dissipations effects. We properly construct the dark and bright optical soliton solutions for our governing model. Furthermore, periodic, other singular solutions, multiwave, homoclinic breather, M-shaped rational and their interaction with kink waves of various structures will be derived. In addition to this, some 3D, 2D and contour profiles will be added to anticipate the wave dynamics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ultrafast laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSSs) have been studied intensely in the last two decades, which have become a useful method for surface nanostructures and are widely used to tune surface properties. This paper reported the fabrication of high-spatial-frequency LIPSSs (HSFLs) on FTO film induced by 1,030 nm femtosecond laser. The morphology, duty cycle and birefringence effects of HSFLs were studied in detail by changing the laser fluence and scanning speed. Clear and uniform HSFLs were formed over the entire ablated area when the laser fluence and scanning speed were 89 mJ/cm2 and 0.01 mm/s, respectively. The duty cycle of the HSFL was measured to be as high as 0.36, and the thickness of the HSFL layer was found to be in the range of 409–546 nm. The phase retardation of the FTO film with HSFLs could reach up to 96 nm and could be used as an optical attenuator with a tunable range of 71–100% for 532 nm linear polarized light.

In this paper, we present the structural and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of 2D-MoS2 and we report a theoretical investigation of the influence of Ag- and Au-doping on the transmission in 2D-MoS2 photonic crystal structure (PCS). A finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique and plane wave expansion method (PWE) have been introduced and adapted for periodic and aperiodic structures to extract the PC-bandgap and study the behavior of the transmission spectrum. The impact of the size of defects, the Ag- and Au-doping on the 2D-PC band structure and transmission spectrum has been visualized under the inclusion of the distribution of electromagnetic fields and the associated field maps. It has been shown that the Au-doping changes significantly the 2D-MoS2 PCS and as a result the transmission spectrum increases considerably. We can predict that 2D-MoS2 PC doped with Au is more convenient than doped with Ag in most applications involving optical transmission and waveguides for optoelectronics devices.

This paper explores the role of spatial extension of impurity (SEI) on two nonlinear optical (NLO) properties and two other related properties of impurity doped GaAs quantum dot (QD). The NLO properties include the electro-optic effect (EOE) and the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility (TONOS) whereas the other two related properties being total optical dielectric function (TODF) and the intraband transition lifetime (ITL). The study also involves Gaussian white noise (GWN) which has been introduced to the doped QD through additive and multiplicative pathways. The investigation unveils the subtle interplay between GWN and SEI which ultimately fine-tunes the said NLO properties. TODF, EOE and TONOS manifest red-shift with enhancement of SEI both with and without GWN. The ITL, on the other hand, exhibits monotonic growth with increase in SEI under all conditions. Moreover, the application of GWN causes noticeable quenching of the NLO properties. And the quenching becomes more stringent in presence of multiplicative noise than its additive counterpart.

Domain randomness is inherent in the fabrication of periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN). The main cause of such domain randomness in fabrication of PPLN is due to electric poling process. This domain randomness not only impacts the effectiveness of frequency conversion, but also enhances the effectiveness of nonphase matched parasitic processes, which in many cases limits the performance of the device. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a nondestructive characterization of domain randomness in PPLN by diffraction-noise pattern with uniform illumination. We measure the domain randomness of PPLN and provide an effective method for poling quality assessment either as good or poor quality of PPLN through this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It becomes an interesting part for the researchers to analyze the dynamical behavior of soliton propagation in optical fibers for trans-oceanic and trans-continental distances. In this paper, we desire to retrieve distinct and innovative accurate wave solutions to the dual core optical fiber nonlinear equations by adopting the improved tanh method and the rational (G ′ ∕ G) -expansion method. Consequently, a bundle of accurate wave solutions is achieved in diverse sense. The acquired solutions are made visible in the profiles of three-dimensional (3D), two-dimensional (2D) and contour shapes. The effects of the wave speed in soliton transmission are highlighted by plotting different 2D outlines in a single diagram for some obtained solutions. The employed techniques perform as before to unravel the suggested governing models for appropriate wave solutions and hence deserve to contribute in further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is focused with the investigation of new exact analytical solutions to two types of nonlinearities of the Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel models, namely anti-cubic law and cubic-quintic law of nonlinearity. To achieve the diverse wave patterns to the considered model, a novel method, namely the new Kudryashov technique, is used. The newly accomplished solutions exhibit many types of wave solutions such as one-soliton, bright, dark, bell-shape and anti-bell shape solutions. The dynamics of the derived solutions are represented by three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) graphs. The novel aspect of this study is the balance between dispersion and nonlinear phenomena, which have not been achieved in previous studies. Based on these solutions, the fiber structure can be designed to improve its quality. Furthermore, this shows the method's ability to solve various forms of nonlinear complex phenomena and produce other solitary wave solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Kaup–Newell equation is used to model sub-picoseconds pulses that travel throughout optical fibers. The fractional-order perturbed Kaup–Newell model, which represents extensive waves parallel to the field of magnetic, is examined. In this paper, two analytical techniques named, improved F-expansion and generalized exp (− ϕ (ζ)) -expansion techniques, are employed and new analytical solutions in generalized forms like bright solitons, dark solitons, multi-peak solitons, peakon solitons, periodic solitons and further wave results are assembled. These soliton solutions and other waves findings have important applications in applied sciences. The configurations of some solutions are shown in the form of graphs through assigning precise values to parameters, and their dynamics are described. The illustrated novel structures of some solutions also assist engineers and scientists in better grasping the physical phenomena of this fractional model. A comparison analysis has been given to explain the originality of the current findings compared to the previously achieved results. The results of computer simulations show that the procedures described are effective, simple, and efficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we propose a hybrid amplifier-based 8-port Cross-Polarization Modulation (XPoM) interconnection with low polarization sensitivity unlike conventional Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA)-based switching. The three-stage configuration utilizes Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) as an intermediate stage to reduce the effects of inherent polarization modulation creating large Transverse Electric – Transverse Magnetic (TE–TM) relative phase shifts. The appreciable error rate of e − 1 6 and Extinction Ratio (ER) of 14.166 dB have been obtained with 100 GHz of port-spacing at different input powers. The low Polarization-Dependent Loss (PDL) of 1.0045 dB, small variations of azimuth and ellipticity with device angle in S–E–S configuration in contrast to that of SOA, adds to the superiority of the proposed model.

In this paper, we report the significance of the double Stokes–Mueller polarimetry (DSMP) technique, to characterize a large size (3 × 3 × 5 mm) Potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) crystal. The crystal undergoes second harmonic generation with type II phase matching. The study of standard KTP crystal using the DSMP technique helps to validate the efficiency of this technique. We were able to extract the crystal's double Mueller matrix, relative contribution of the susceptibility tensor components, the phase difference between the susceptibility tensor components, etc. We could determine the crystal axes orientation using this optical technique, which was not possible through a single crystal X-Ray diffraction technique for such a large size crystal for which both optic axes and crystallographic axes are the same. Axes direction determined from polarization microscope measurements and Laue diffraction measurements on KTP crystal is compared with those obtained from DSMP measurements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent trends, digital systems in the light of power dissipation are a crucial issue. In computing, the computational process of reversible logic is bijective and can decrease the rising issue of power dissipation. In reversible circuit design, Peres gate considered as one of the fundamental reversible gate. Therefore, a Peres gate using Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM) and Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (RSOA) is proposed in this paper. Frequency encoding scheme and dibit-based logic are incorporated here. In long range transmission, frequency encoding bears huge benefits in respect with the other encoding techniques. This encoding technique may decrease the probability of bit error. Due to the high gain and low noise property of RSOA, the proposed design can perform operations like computation, data processing, etc. at ultra-high speed with low noise. MATLAB Simulink (R2018a) software has been used to verify the operation of the proposed design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nematicons became a key topic of interest in liquid crystal technology in recent years. This paper contributes in understanding the fantastic features of nematicons in optics and further disciplines. This piece of research investigates nematicons for obtaining various exact solutions for Kerr and non-Kerr law nonlinearities with the help of the Kudryashov's approach and the tanh–coth technique. The acquired outcomes involve rational, periodic and hyperbolic solutions as well as their combo-type solutions for all the four cases of nonlinearity. A comparative study is conducted to show the novelty of present results with results already existing in the literature. The constraint conditions obtained ensured that the existence of these solutions is extraordinarily favorable to further investigate the dynamics of nematicons for various kinds of nonlinearity. The dynamics of the few of the obtained solutions are also discussed by 3D plots. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In fifth-generation (5G) fronthaul networks, the wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) is considered as an important tool to address the advanced transmission requirements. The nonlinear effects occur when multiple wavelengths are transmitted simultaneously in the same optical fiber. In this paper, we investigate the four-wave mixing (FWM) and the cross-phase modulation (XPM) effects by using non-return-to-zero (NRZ), 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4), and optical duobinary (ODB) modulation formats in WDM-PON-based 5G fronthaul networks. The results show that ODB performs better when it comes to limiting the FWM and XPM effects because of its precoded attribute. Compared to the unpredictable sensitivity penalty based on NRZ and PAM4, the FWM-induced sensitivity penalty using ODB is reduced to 2 dB. Moreover, the XPM-induced sensitivity penalty is measured as 1 dB by adopting ODB, which is almost 5 dB better than NRZ and PAM4 modulation formats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we theoretically analyze optically-induced transparency and absorption properties of a weak probe field in a two-mode coupled micro-cavity system and explore the tunable asymmetric Fano line shape of the transmission rates of the probe field. Both the modes in our system consist of an optical Kerr medium, one of them being passive while the other mode can be either active or passive. The forward transmission and backward reflection profile of the probe field are investigated for both passive–passive and passive–active cavity systems by varying different system parameters such as probe field detuning, photon tunneling strength, gain-to-loss ratio, etc. The results of this study have the potential to be applied in construction of quantum telecommunication and photonic devices.

This paper explores the new (3 + 1) -dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation which is used to model the propagation of ultra-short optical pulses in highly-nonlinear media. This equation is newly derived based on the extended (3 + 1) -dimensional zero curvature equation. An effective technique, namely, the extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion method is applied to find optical soliton solutions and other solutions for this model. As a result, dark, bright, combined dark–bright, singular, combined singular soliton solutions, and singular periodic wave solutions are obtained. The stability of the model is investigated by using the modulation instability analysis which guarantees that the model is stable and all solutions are stable and exact. Physical explanations of the obtained solutions are presented by using 3D and 2D plots. The reported outcomes are useful in the empirical application of fiber optics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the extended simplest equation method is utilized to construct the novel exact optical solitons solutions of the perturbed time fractional Chen–Lee–Liu equation with conformable fractional derivative. The acquired optical solitons and other solutions are expressed via the rational functions, the trigonometric functions, and the hyperbolic functions; in addition to guaranteeing the existence of the acquired results, the constrain conditions are provided. Furthermore, to elucidate the magnitude of the proposed equation, various obtained solutions are plotted via two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) graphs using appropriate values of parameters. It is observed that the present technique is a powerful tool and efficient for finding the analytical solution for nonlinear differential equations of integer and fractional orders.

This paper deals with the investigation of the newly obtained solitary solutions of perturbed optical metamaterial with Kerr law nonlinearity. Two novel analytical techniques, namely, the extended Riccati equation rational expansion (ERERE) method and the extended rational exp (− ( φ ′ φ) (ξ)) -expansion (EREE) methods are applied to develop new solitary solutions. The resultant wave solutions are periodic wave solution, singular kink, anti-peakon, dark, singular anti-kink, anti-kink, gray and singular soliton solutions.

In this paper, the optical soliton and solitary wave solutions of the (2 + 1) -dimensional Mel'nikov equation are investigated using the Kudryashov R function technique. The Kudryashov R function approach has various features that significantly facilitate symbolic computing, particularly for highly dispersive nonlinear equations. In computations, this approach has the benefit of not requiring the use of a certain function form. This approach gives an algorithm that is straightforward, efficient, and simple for finding solitary wave solutions. In addition, this approach is very influential and reliable when it comes to discovering hyperbolic function solutions of nonlinear equations. Many new hyperbolic function solutions have been obtained from the governing equation by using this technique. In addition, numerous types of soliton solutions describing various structures of optical solitons are retrieved. Using this method, breather, W-shaped, bell shaped, and bright soliton solutions have been generated from the governing equation. From the obtained results, it can be asserted that the applied approach may be a useful tool for addressing more highly nonlinear problems in various fields. By choosing particular values for the relevant parameters, the dynamic features of some breather, W-shaped, bell shaped and bright soliton solutions to the (2 + 1) -dimensional Mel'nikov equation have been displayed in 3D, 2D and contour graphs.

The dynamics of the different exact solutions are presented through the 3D plot, contour and 2D curve, and the corresponding physical interpretations are elaborated in detail. It is confirmed that the proposed methods are effective and powerful, and can be adopted to construct the optical solitons of the other PDEs arising in the optical physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent times, there has been enormous growth in internet-based applications such as online entertainment platforms, video conferencing and voice over internet protocol (VoIP) applications which might be the trend in future. In order to support such bandwidth-hungry applications, the speed of the network should be enhanced. Increasing the infrastructure of the network requires heavy investment. Another alternative to increase the capacity of the network is to use dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) which also results in increased costs as the lasers and other equipment needed for generation of wavelengths are required. In this work, an alternative cost effective technique is used to create a DWDM scenario using optical flat comb source (OFCS) by combining amplitude modulator (AM) and single drive mach zehnder modulator (SD-MZM). The spectral lines generated using this procedure can be used in Passive Optical Network (PON) as input sources. In this paper, 51 flat spectral lines are generated and transported over a distance of 100 km which are also capable of supporting a data rate of greater than 10 Gbps in a single spectral line.

Since the discovery of lasers, high-quality nonlinear optical (NLO) single crystals have served as the foundation for the creation of novel, cutting-edge devices that meet societal demands. Modern optoelectronic applications such as telecommunication lasers, optical fibers, photodiodes, solar cells, etc. favor high-performance nonlinear optical single crystals with improved optical nonlinearity. Organic crystals are extensively explored for these applications because of their high NLO coefficient.

An ultra-short and ultra-intense optical vortex array (OVA) is generated when two intense counter-propagating Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) pulses with p -polarization impinge on two solid thin targets. In this paper, we propose a method for generating an OVA of high intensity, short wavelength, and high-order mode. Three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation results demonstrated that the generated high-order vortex harmonics interfered with each other in the transmitted area. These interference patterns of the fundamental and high-order harmonics exhibit an OVA distribution. Furthermore, vortex oscillating mirror (VOM) and classic wave interference models are then used to explain the simulation results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigate the properties of modulation instability (MI) in the fractional Schrödinger equation with cubic–quintic nonlinearity (SECN), particularly focusing on some novel dynamical behaviors different from those in the conventional SECN. First, we apply the linear-stability theory to derive an analytical expression for instability gain in such novel fractional physical system. Just like the case of the conventional SECN, our analysis shows that the dynamical behavior of MI in the fractional SECN still depends on the various combinations of the signs of cubic and quintic nonlinearities. In particular, MI is found to still occur even in the fractional Schrödinger equation (SE) with self-defocusing cubic nonlinearity if the quintic nonlinearity is positive. Moreover, we further find that the Lévy indices related to the fractional effects mainly act to increase not only the fastest growth frequency but also the bandwidth, when compared to the case in the conventional SECN. However, the corresponding maximum gain is completely independent on such Lévy indices. The theoretical predictions are confirmed by the numerical results from the split-step Fourier method. Our findings suggest that the novel fractional systems with cubic–quintic nonlinearity provide some possibilities to control the dynamical behavior of MI and new solitary waves.

In this paper a new definition of a local fractional derivative of order α is introduced and applied to the study of the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (FNLSE) with third-order dispersion and with Kerr and power laws of nonlinear refractive index.

We found new optical soliton solutions with some constraints conditions that arise between the parameters of the NLSE. Typical behavior of the acquired solitons is depicted in some interesting simulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nonlinear optical (NLO) single crystals with high quality are the pillars for the development of new devices that fulfil the demands of society. Nowadays, NLO single crystals are very attractive for the photonic applications particularly for terahertz (THz) photonics. The reason for their popularity is that these crystals can produce very powerful and ultra wideband THz waves due to their high nonlinear susceptibility. In this review paper, we deal with the challenges and progresses in the evolution of NLO single crystals for THz wave generation and detection. Here, we review the single crystal growth that how and by which method single crystal is grown. We summarize the structures, intermolecular and intramolecular interactions, their properties and how they generate and detect the THz waves. Widely used single crystals at present are DAST, BNA, OH1, amino acid-based single crystals, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we numerically study dark solitons in normal-dispersion optical fibers described by the cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg–Landau equation. The effects of the third-order dispersion, self-steepening, stimulated Raman dispersion, and external potentials are also considered. The existence, chaotic content and interactions of these objects are analyzed, as well as the tunneling through a potential barrier and the formation of dark breathers aside from dark solitons in two dimensions and their mutual interactions as well as with periodic potentials. Furthermore, the homogeneous solutions of the model and the conditions for their stability are also analytically obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is a numeric-analytical work for highly efficient difference-frequency generation (DFG) by the integrated effect of total-internal-reflection-based optical rotation quasi-phase-matching (ORQPM) and nonresonant quasi-phase-matching techniques in a thin yttrium oxide-coated rectangular slab of magnesium oxide-doped lithium niobate crystal. The conversion efficiency of 37.2% has been obtained by ray-optics analysis, corresponding to an idler wavelength of 1570 nm. Moreover, the guided-wave approach has also been analyzed for more accurate and realistic outcomes, yielding a peak conversion efficiency of 1.64%. The impact of the influencing factors like surface roughness, absorption, and nonlinear law of reflection has also been incorporated in the computer-aided simulation for providing a pragmatic understanding of the whole study.

In this paper, a theoretical study of wave propagation in 1D metamaterial is presented. A system of evolution equations for electromagnetic waves with both polarizations account is derived by means of projection operators method for general nonlinearity and dispersion. It describes interaction of opposite directed waves with a given polarization. The particular case of Kerr nonlinearity and Drude dispersion is considered. In such approximation, it results in the corresponding system of nonlinear equations that generalizes the Schäfer–Wayne one. Traveling wave solution for the system of equation of interaction of orthogonal-polarized waves is also obtained. Dependence of wavelength on amplitude is written and plotted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we discuss a possibility to realize the optical bistability in a rotating semiconductor micro-cavity system. To study the mean cavity photon number profile, we have obtained stationary solution by solving Heisenberg–Langevin equations of motion. In a rotating semiconductor micro-cavity system, bistability is observed when the cavity is driven externally in one direction but not the other direction. The bistable behavior is possible for strong coupling regime, and this can be controlled by hopping strength, decay rates and pump power. The photon profile also shows tunable zero intensity window. The system may be useful to design all-optical switch and optical flip–flop i.e., optical memory element, which would be faster in applications and compact in size. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we present a novel erbium–ytterbium doped fiber amplifier (EYDFA) + Raman + EYDFA hybrid optical amplifier (HOA) for a super-dense wavelength division multiplexing (SD-WDM) system application. The performance of the 100-channel system has been investigated for an overall data rate and channel spacing of 100 Gb/s and 0.4 nm, respectively, over a wavelength span of 1550–1589.9 nm. HOA has been optimized for Raman length, EYDFA lengths, pump powers and Er + concentrations to achieve high average gain and low gain variation ratio of 40.41 dB and 0.40 respectively. The optimized configuration of the proposed HOA has been compared with EYDFA + Raman and Raman + EYDFA HOA configurations. The achieved high and flat gain with an acceptable output optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) in case of EYDFA + Raman + EYDFA HOA; makes it an optimum choice for SD-WDM systems.
