Theory of grating superstructures

Theory of grating superstructures
We develop the theory of linear and nonlinear grating superstructures, gratings in which the parameters vary periodically with position on the scale of typically about 1 mm. Following earlier work in semiconductors, these have now been written in optical fibers. We develop the theory by introducing a set of 'super envelopes': envelopes of the usual envelope functions of the grating structure. We show that under very general conditions these super envelopes satisfy a set of super coupled mode equations, and that these equations have solitary wave solutions.

Abstract

We develop the theory of linear and nonlinear grating superstructures, gratings in which the parameters vary periodically with position on the scale of typically about 1 mm. Following earlier work in semiconductors, these have now been written in optical fibers. We develop the theory by introducing a set of 'super envelopes': envelopes of the usual envelope functions of the grating structure. We show that under very general conditions these super envelopes satisfy a set of super coupled mode equations, and that these equations have solitary wave solutions.
