Active Localization in Planar Tapered Waveguides with Random Index of Refraction Fluctuations and Saturable Gain Nonlinearity

Abstract

Physical Picture(s)

Axial Propagation Model for a Nonlinear Waveguide

Axial Index, Source,Gain, Absorption & Damping Profiles

Illustrating Random Index Fluctuations: Single Carrier

Illustrating Random Index Fluctuations: Double Carrier

3 Split-Steps Solution Scheme ABCCBA

Split Step (A) Is Standard Fare: Just use FFTs

In Split Step (B), Is a Constant of the Motion

In Split Step (C) treat Saturable Gain & Absorption Exactly

Changes in the Saturation Level Ratios Affect Split Step (C)

Changes in the Saturation Level Ratios Affect Split Step (C)
