“…An input pulse typically experiences an effective wavelength conversion because of reflection at a boundary; [13,14] this may result in a strong light-light interaction. [15,16] Furthermore, the transmitted pulse undergoes an amplitude change, and the carrier frequency shifts when it propagates across the boundary. The temporal analogue to nonlinear total reflection occurs if a wave beam intercrosses the reference beam at an angle less than a critical value.…”

Reflection and refraction of Airy pulses at a moving step refractive-index boundary are investigated. A comb-like reflected spectrum and an Airy-like transmitted spectrum are formed as an Airy pulse crosses a temporal boundary without initial group velocity mismatch or initial central frequency shift. The reflected and refracted pulses are significantly influenced by the location of temporal boundary and time-dependent refractive index change. The energy of each lobe of the comb-like reflected spectra can be controlled by changing the value of decay factor of the Airy pulse. In the case of an Airy pulse with an initial launch frequency shift, the reflected and refracted frequency shifts depend on the dispersion relation of the medium. The results can be used in potential applications involving optical manipulation.

“…Moreover, the interactions between Airy pulse and temporal solitons at the same center wavelength [42] or at a different wavelength [43] has been studied. The interaction of an accelerating Airy beam and a solitary wave has also been investigated for integrable and non-integrable equations governing NL optical propagation [44].…”

We investigate Airy-soliton interactions in self-defocusing media with PT potentials in one transverse dimension. We discuss different potentials in which the interacting beams with different phases are launched into the media at different separation distances. During interactions, there exist a primary collision region and a relaxation region accompanied by continuous interaction with the dispersed Airy tail. In the relaxation region, the beams exist soliton-like and breathers-like propagation. The beam width and mean power are influenced by initial separation, phase shift and modulation depth of PT potentials. Especially, the collision distance decreases with the spatial beam separation and the mean power possesses sinusoidal dependence on the phase shift.

“…Moreover, similar to the interactions of solitons, interactions between Airy beams have gradually attracted attention of researchers. Interactions between Airy pulse and temporal solitons at the same center wavelength [37] or at a different wavelength [38] were studied. The interaction of an accelerating Airy beam and a solitary wave was also investigated in various media [39].…”

Interaction of Airy-Gaussian beams in photonic lattices with defects

et al. 2017

We investigate numerically the interaction between two finite Airy-Gaussian (AiG) beams in different media with the defected photonic lattices in one transverse dimension. We discuss that the beams with different intensities and phases launch into the different lattice structures but accelerate in opposite directions. During interactions, the interference fringe, breathers, and soliton pairs are observed. In the linear media, the initial deflection direction of the accelerated beams is changed by adjusting the phase shift and the beam interval. For a certain lattice period, the periodic interference fringe can form. A constructive or destructive interference can vary with the defect depth and phase shift. While the nonlinearity is introduced, the breathers is generated. Especially in the self-defocusing media, the appropriate AiG beam amplitude and lattice depth may lead to the formation of soliton pairs, On the contrary, the interaction of two Gaussian beams is diffraction.
