We investigate the process of dispersive waves (DWs) emitted from Gaussian pulse (GP) with an initial quadratic spectral phase (QSP). We show that the radiation of DWs is strongly affected by the QSP parameter. The conversion efficiency and resonant frequency of DWs are effectively enhanced and cont...

Description
Summary:We investigate the process of dispersive waves (DWs) emitted from Gaussian pulse (GP) with an initial quadratic spectral phase (QSP). We show that the radiation of DWs is strongly affected by the QSP parameter. The conversion efficiency and resonant frequency of DWs are effectively enhanced and controlled by tuning the sign and magnitude of the initial QSP. At variance with the case of pure GP, the DWs emission is first advanced and then delayed for negatively QSP modulated GPs; while it is always delayed for positively QSP modulated GPs. We present a modified phase-matching formula that allows us to predict DWs spectral peaks. The resonant frequencies predicted by the phase-matching condition are in very good agreement with the results obtained from the numerical simulation based on the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The results presented here can be utilized as a effective tool to manipulate DWs emission for applications such as frequency conversion.
