We are interested in modelling the behavior of nonlinear optical systems, active and passive, with varying degrees of complication. These studies include both the fundamental physics of systems and their application to specific devices. Our work consist of steady-state, stability, and dynamic analyses; it involves the interplay between stochastic and deterministic "forces" that drive the systems from their old states into new configurations and determines which new configuration is realized. In laser studies we include homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening, plane wave, single longitudinal and transverse mode structures. Similarly, we explore light driven passive systems, optical bistability, and the laser with injected signals. We incorporate such theoretical tools as Fourier transforms, linear stability analyses, dynamics in phase space and temporal space, Poincaré sections, and Lyapunov exponents. Nonlinear effects resulting in, for example, period doubling, coexisting basins of attraction, and chaos are interesting corollaries of study in these systems.
Further, we are interested in noise affects in the laser with injected signal and in optical bistability. Experimental systems are of special focus because of their reproducibility, in the tradition of "theory guides but experiment decides."
One device application of particular interest is that of the dielectric whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) optical microresonator. Tunable laser light is transported via a tapered fiber and coupled into the WGMs of fused silica microspheres to form a very efficient, low loss, high Q cavity resonator that can be as small as100 mm. These mini resonators provide the platform to study such physics as enhanced Raman emission, four-wave mixing, third-harmonic generation, lasing action and other systems. The work is done in collaboration with Prof. Al Rosenberger of Oklahoma State University Physics Department and Prof. Bret N. Flanders of the Physics Department of Kansas State University.
