Light Induced Soliton Switching at the Gallium-Silica Interface

Abstract

In the present paper, we have investigated the solitonic characteristics of a pulse passing through an interface separating two nonlinear media. The first media is a thin film of gallium nanoparticles which show switching properties under optical excitation and second is a monomode optical fiber. Soliton propagation in three different phases of gallium nanoparticles have been analyzed by using the method of phase-plane analysis. Also, the critical power required for soliton propagation has been calculated.
