Abstract
We observed parabolic surface states during the nonlinear propagation of a Weber beams in an SBN crystal. The refractive index is modulated anisotropically using the optical induction technique. These states appear without the need for a pre-inscribed lattice in the material. Their characteristics can be tuned by adjusting the Weber beam’s scale, parabolicity, orientation, and power. We also observed oscillatory discrete surface states during the linear propagation of a probe Gaussian beam within the aperiodic Weber photonic lattice. In both cases, such specific parabolic states are observed as surface states extending across multiple adjacent parabolas, or edge parabolic states localized along the border parabola. Our approach presents the first demonstration of self-induced parabolic surface states in aperiodic systems.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
