Laser-based nonlinear optics was already demonstrated in the 1961 [1], only months after the 1960 demonstration of the ruby laser [2]. Nonlinear optics has a rich history extending to the present. The reality of nonlinear optics is that electronic based nonlinearities are fast (subpicosecond) but require large electromagnetic fields. Plasmonics and strongly guiding optics (in the present case, silicon photonics) promise nanometric confinement and even guidance of intense optical fields over significant (many wavelength) distances. The optical field enhancement that can be obtained by strong guidance can be sufficient to achieve the magnitudes necessary for nonlinear optics with compact (chip-level) sources.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122711848","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}

The magnetic field effects of a HTS coplanar waveguide is studied using the modified two-fluid model proposed by Coffey and Clem (CC). The surface impedance of the high temperature superconducting strip is determined using the CC model. This enters as the complex valued resistive boundary condition and by using the Galerkin's procedure, we study the propagation parameters and the unloaded Q value of the coplanar waveguide. The spectral domain dyadic Green's functions for the transmission line are formulated by treating coplanar waveguide as a coupled slotline. The results are in tune with the vortex dynamics explored by CC model. The simulation of transmission characteristics of the coplanar waveguide in the microdimensions shows lower dispersion and attenuation. The variations in signal transmission are explained using the vortex effects.","PeriodicalId":286435,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Microwave and Photonics (ICMAP)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127002282","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}
