This paper addresses...
The Purcell effect and Lamb shift are two well-known physical phenomena which are usually discussed in the context of quantum electrodynamics, with the zero-point vibrations as a driving force of those effects in the quantum approach.

We studied the properties of 2×2 photonic switching elements made of two intersecting waveguides coupled with two micro-rings and showed that they can exhibit the effect of coupled-resonator induced transparency (CRIT). Employing the CRIT effect promises reduction of power consumption compared to standard switching techniques, and thus, the potenti...
The emerging of circuit-level simulators for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) is driven by recent developments in technologies for integration of large-scale monolithic PICs in both, silicon and InP technologies. For that reason, powerful circuit-level simulators should be capable to model on the same circuit different types of sub-components pe...

We describe an approach to simulate the power transients in complex (branched, ring, or mesh) transparent fiber optical networks. Simulations are performed at two time scales: first, the signal power dynamics in Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers is modeled at (sub-) millisecond scale using statistical signal descriptions. Further, the teletraffic perfo...

Modern simulators of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) employ either frequency-domain or time-domain approaches for system-level modeling of PICs.

We reviewed the origin and impact of the cross polarization modulation (XpolM) effect. An analysis of the Manakov equation has been carried out in order to differentiate between XpolM and XPM effects. Based on this analysis, it has been argued that the impact of XpolM may have been overestimated so far. To verify this statement, the performance of...

We present an investigation of the optical properties of photonic crystals whose constituent materials exhibit anomalous dispersive behavior. In particular, the anomalous dispersion near resonances may lead to additional propagating modes in the gap of the undoped system for a localized region of wave-vector space. Such a system may be realized by...

Within this approach, the electromagnetic field is expanded into an orthogonal basis of highly localized Wannier functions, which reduces Maxwell's equations to low-rank eigenvalue problems (for defect mode and waveguide disper...
We consider a discrete model that describes a linear chain of particles coupled to a single-site defect with instantaneous Kerr nonlinearity. We show that this model can be regarded as a nonlinear generalization of the familiar Fano-Anderson model and it can generate amplitude-dependent bistable resonant transmission or reflection. We identify thes...
In this work, We have generalized the discrete Fano-Anderson model to a nonlinear regime, where we assume that a discrete state possesses Kerr-type nonlinearity. In PC waveguides, it can be achieved by the filling of the removed rod with some nonlinear material. We show that the presence of nonlinearity leads to a shift of the position of the Fano...

We introduce a fresh class of photonic band-gap materials, curvilinear-lattice photonic crystals, whose distinctive feature is that their individual scatterers are arranged in a curvilinear lattice. We show that adhering to some restrictions in the acceptable lattice transformations, one can achieve omnidirectional photonic band gaps for an entire...
We study the band-gap structure of two-dimensional photonic crystals created by a triangular lattice of rotated hexagonal holes and explore the effects of the reduced symmetry in the unit-cell geometry on the value of the absolute band gap and the frequencies of localized defect modes. We reveal that a maximum absolute band gap for this structure i...

Based on the effective discrete equations for the study of light transmission in photonic crystal waveguides with embedded nonlinear defects, we study a number of nonlinearity-induced effects, such as bistable propagation, all-optical switching, resonant transmission through a band, and light self-trapping in the form of spatial solitons.
Most of the studies of breathers in networks of oscillators are
limited to next-neighbour interaction. However, long-range
interaction becomes critical when the geometry of the chain is
taken into account, as the distance between oscillators and,
therefore, the coupling, depends on the shape of the system. In
this paper we analyse the existence and...

Summary form only given. A low-intensity light cannot propagate through a photonic bandgap (PBG) crystal if its frequency falls into a band gap. However, it has been recently suggested, in the framework of the couple-mode theory, that in the case of a two-dimensional (2D) periodic medium with a Kerr-type nonlinear high-intensity light with the freq...
We investigate the properties of nonlinear excitations in different types of soliton carrying systems with long-range dispersive interactions. We show that length-scale competition in such systems, universally results in a multi-component structure of nonlinear excitations which may lead to a new type of multistability: coexistence of different non...
We consider a curved chain of non-linear oscillators and show that the interplay of curvature and non-linearity leads to a number of qualitative effects. In particular, the energy of non-linear localized excitations centred on the bending decreases when curvature increases, i.e. bending manifests itself as a trap for excitations. Moreover, the pote...

Three types of nonlinear Schrödinger models with multiple length scales are considered. It is shown that the length-scale competition universally gives rise to new localized stationary states. Multistability phenomena with a controlled switching between stable states become possible.
We study the influence of long-range interatomic interactions on the properties of supersonic pulse solitons in anharmonic chains. We show that in the case of ultra-long-range (e.g., screened Coulomb) interactions three different types of pulse solitons coexist in a certain velocity interval: one type is unstable but the two others are stable. The...
We study effects of Kac-Baker long-range dispersive interaction (LRI) between particles on kink properties in the discrete sine-Gordon model. We show that the kink width increases indefinitely as the range of LRI grows only in the case of strong interparticle coupling. On the contrary, the kink becomes intrinsically localized if the coupling is und...
We consider a curved chain of nonlinear oscillators and show that the interplay of curvature and nonlinearity leads to a symmetry breaking when an asymmetric stationary state becomes energetically more favorable than a symmetric stationary state. We show that the energy of localized states decreases with increasing curvature, i.e. bending is a trap...
