Nonlinearities in Periodic Media, From Fiber to Silicon Chips: Plenty to Bragg About

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

We review recent advances related to nonlinear propagation in periodic structures, where the refractive index varies along one or two directions, i.e. gratings and planar photonic crystals. I will present recent experiments showing how periodic media have been used for pulse compression and the generation of slow Bragg solitons. I then present recent nonlinear experiments performed in photonic crystal waveguides that demonstrate the strong reinforcement of nonlinear third-order optical phenomena with slow light with applications to optical switching, quantum light sources and broadband frequency conversion.
