We show that, when the cavity roundtrip is much larger than the medium timescales, this system exhibits a temporal aspect-ratio large enough to host TLS. Two configurations will be considered. In the first one the system is submitted to cross-polarization reinjection which leads to the formation of vectorial TLS. In the second one the external cavity is closed by a Resonant Saturable Absorber Mirror, a scheme conventionally used to obtain mode-locked pulses. Here we will show how TLS can be obtained from mode-locking.","PeriodicalId":114800,"journal":{"name":"Numerical Simulation of Optoelectronic Devices, 2014","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116964762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking advantage of the high field intensities available from laser sources as well as the high damage threshold of dielectric materials, DLAs can attain more than an order of magnitude higher field gradient-energy gain per unit length-than conventional, microwave cavity-based accelerators. However, the design considerations for DLAs have notable differences from those of conventional accelerators. In this presentation, we first present the physics and requirements of DLAs, illustrating many of the principles through designs of photonic crystal waveguide accelerators. We then describe recent results on simulations of grating structures, discussing the simulation techniques and comparison with experiments.","PeriodicalId":114800,"journal":{"name":"Numerical Simulation of Optoelectronic Devices, 2014","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133349992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
