Directional coupling of optical signals by odd dark beams with mixed phase dislocations

Numerical simulations on the evolution of step-screw and edge-screw optical phase dislocations in bulk saturable self-defocusing nonlinear media are presented, with emphasis on their ability to induce steering waveguides for signal beams (pulses). Two schemes for directional coupling of such signals, both ensuring reasonable coupling-to-cross-talk efficiency ratio, are investigated. The parameters useful for performance optimization of the couplers are discussed.

Ring dark solitary waves: experiment versus theory

Theoretical and experimental results on optical ring dark solitary waves are presented, emphasizing the interplay between initial dark beam contrast, phase-shift magnitude, background-beam intensity and saturation of the nonlinearity are presented. The results are found to confirm qualitatively the existing analytical theory and are in agreement with the numerical simulations carried out.

Experimental generation of steering odd dark beams of finite length

In this work we report the first realization of odd dark beams of finite length under controllable initial conditions. The mixed edge-screw phase dislocations are obtained by reproducing binary computer-generated holograms. Two effective ways to control the steering of the beams are analyzed experimentally and compared with numerical simulations.
