Intermodal-vectorial four-wave mixing processes involving LP01, LP11, LP02 and LP21 modes of birefringent fibers

We present the complete (analytical, numerical and experimental) analysis of intermodal-vectorial four-wave mixings proccesses in birefringent fibers. We analyze phase-matching condition and overlap coefficients to indicate possible processes. Then, we demonstrate multiple four-wave mixing processes in LP01 and LP11 modes numerically and experimentally. Finally, we extend theoretical analysis to account higher-order modes, LP02 and LP21.

Soliton trapping and orthogonal Raman scattering in a birefringent photonic crystal fiber

We observed experimentally that a soliton pulse polarized along the fast fiber axis partially transfers its energy to the orthogonal polarization.

Modelling Arbitrary Complex Dielectric Properties—an automated implementation for gprMax

We developed a new module within gprMax that can be used to simulate complex dispersive materials using multi-Debye expansions in an automatic manner. The module is capable of modelling Havriliak-Negami, Cole-Cole, Cole-Davidson, Jonscher, Complex-Refractive Index Models, and indeed any arbitrary dispersive material with real and imaginary permittivity specified by the user.

Multiple intermodal-vectorial four-wave mixing bands generated by selective excitation of orthogonally polarized LP01 and LP11 modes in a birefringent fiber

We demonstrate that the selective excitation of different combinations of linearly polarized spatial modes at the pump wavelength initiates distinct intermodal-vectorial four-wave mixing processes.

gnlse-python: Open Source Software to Simulate Nonlinear Light Propagation In Optical Fibers

We present gnlse-python, a nonlinear optics modeling toolbox that contains a rich set of components and modules to solve the GNLSE using the split-step Fourier transform method (SSFM).

Hybrid linear-nonlinear optimization approach to the approximation of multi-pole Debye dielectric function

In my previous post I gave some introduction to my work done during Google Summer of Code 2021 related to modeling dispersive materials electrical properties. In the post I would like to share the result of my final submission.

Numerical modelling of conical wave formation in multimode optical fibers
