We have investigated ultrashort parabolic pulse formation via passive nonlinear reshaping in commercially available normal dispersive optical fibers at 1550 nm. It was investigated parabolic pulse formation in the transient-state regime and in the steady-state regime. The most suitable fiber…

Ultraviolet (UV) communication enables non-line-of-sight (NLOS) outdoor wireless connectivity and is particularly desirable to relax or eliminate pointing and tracking requirements of infrared links. The main two degrading factors in UV links are high path loss and intersymbol interference resulting…

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology has been successfully used for realization of ultra-compact, highly integrated photonic devices due to large refractive index contrast between core and cladding of waveguiding structures and very sharp bending. Unfortunately the diffraction limit of light does not…

Multi-cavity photonic systems, known as photonic molecules (PMs), are ideal multi-well potential building blocks for advanced quantum and nonlinear optics. A key phenomenon arising in double well potentials is the spontaneous breaking of the inversion symmetry, i.e. a transition from…

Optical Tamm plasmon states are electromagnetic modes confined at the interface between a Bragg mirror and a metallic film. These states offer coupling to photonic states in a relatively narrow solid angle in both TM and TE polarizations, and quality…
