Title

Azimuthal solitons/FWM instability for tubular waveguides and whispering gallery modes

Abstract

The nonlinear optical processes, such as four-wave mixing and transverse solitons in waveguides of specific configuration are discussed. It is assumed that only one radial transverse mode is bound by the bump of refractive index in the radial direction. The remaining transverse coordinate y = Rφ may be considered as defined at length L = 2πR of circumference, such that 0≤y≤L. The eigenmodes in terms of y-dependence are simply Fourier-components ex-p(imφ) = exp(2πimy/L). The main dimensionless factor is the ratio d/2πR of the radial thickness of the mode of tubular waveguide to the circumference. Tubular propagation of light in a round flattop fiber may be mimicked by the whispering gallery modes.
