Studies of Wave Propagation in Nonlinear Composite Materials.

Abstract

This project involves the investigation of the wave propagation in nonlinear composite media. This effort demonstrated theoretically that we can form a composite medium from a nonlinear medium with optical vortex soliton (OVS). The light induced waveguide formed by the OVS can be a means for building an all-optical modulator. The dynamics of polarized OVS is also examined and remarkable evolution of instability emerges.
