Theoretical intensity-dependent response of nonlinear periodic structures

We have modeled the response of a nonlinear periodic structure by means of the Abelés 2×2 matrix method. Our structure differs from the usual rejection-band filter designs, in that we have chosen the filter elements to be index matched in the absence of radiation, providing a rejection band that bot...

Description
Summary:We have modeled the response of a nonlinear periodic structure by means of the Abelés 2×2 matrix method. Our structure differs from the usual rejection-band filter designs, in that we have chosen the filter elements to be index matched in the absence of radiation, providing a rejection band that both grows and shifts as a function of incident intensity. The intensity output function of the model not only directly demonstrates optical bistability, but also limiting, switching, self-pulsing, and chaos.
