Parity-time symmetric coupled microresonators with a dispersive gain/loss (2015)
Journal Article
Phang, S., Vukovic, A., Creagh, S. C., Benson, T. M., Sewell, P. D., & Gradoni, G. (2015). Parity-time symmetric coupled microresonators with a dispersive gain/loss. Optics Express, 23(9), 11493-11507. https://doi.org/10.1364/oe.23.011493

The paper reports on the coupling of Parity-Time (PT)-symmetric whispering gallery resonators with realistic material and gain/loss models. Response of the PT system is analyzed for the case of low and high material and gain dispersion, and also for...

Modeling curved carbon fiber composite (CFC) structures in the transmission-line modeling (TLM) method (2015)
Journal Article

A new embedded model for curved thin panels is developed in the transmission line modeling (TLM) method. In this model, curved panels are first linearized and then embedded between adjacent 2-D TLM nodes allowing for arbitrary positioning between adj...

A versatile all-optical parity-time signal processing device using a Bragg grating induced using positive and negative Kerr-nonlinearity (2015)
Journal Article
Phang, S., Vukovic, A., Benson, T. M., Susanto, H., & Sewell, P. (2015). A versatile all-optical parity-time signal processing device using a Bragg grating induced using positive and negative Kerr-nonlinearity. Optical and Quantum Electronics, 47(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s11082-014-0012-2

The properties of gratings with Kerr nonlinearity and PT symmetry are investigated in this paper. The impact of the gain and loss saturation on the response of the grating is analysed for different input intensities and gain/loss parameters. Potentia...

Phang, S., Vukovic, A., Susanto, H., Benson, T. M., & Sewell, P. (2014). Practical limitation on operation of nonlinear parity-time Bragg gratings.

The paper analyses the operation of PT Bragg gratings when the dielectric material is considered to be both dispersive and nonlinear and gain and loss are saturable. The paper demonstrates the application of the nonlinear PT Bragg Grating as an optic... Read More about Practical limitation on operation of nonlinear parity-time Bragg gratings.

Impact of dispersive and saturable gain/loss on bistability of nonlinear parity–time Bragg gratings (2014)
Journal Article
Phang, S., Vukovic, A., Susanto, H., Benson, T. M., & Sewell, P. (2014). Impact of dispersive and saturable gain/loss on bistability of nonlinear parity–time Bragg gratings. Optics Letters, 39(9), 2603-2606. https://doi.org/10.1364/ol.39.002603

We report on the impact of realistic gain and loss models on the bistable operation of nonlinear parity–time (PT) Bragg gratings. In our model we include both dispersive and saturable gain and show that levels of gain/loss saturation can have a signi...

Ultrafast optical switching using parity-time symmetric Bragg gratings (2013)
Journal Article
Phang, S., Vukovic, A., Susanto, H., Benson, T. M., & Sewell, P. (2013). Ultrafast optical switching using parity-time symmetric Bragg gratings. Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 30(11), https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAB.30.002984

This paper reports on time-domain modeling of an optical switch based on the parity–time (PT) symmetric Bragg grating. The switching response is triggered by suddenly switching on the gain in the Bragg grating to create a PT-symmetric Bragg grating....

Parity-Time coupled microresonators: Kramers-Kronig limitation
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Phang, S., Vukovic, A., Creagh, S. C., Sewell, P., Gradoni, G., & Benson, T. M. Parity-Time coupled microresonators: Kramers-Kronig limitation.

In this talk, we use a KKE argument to show that the presence of dispersion alters the eigen-frequencies of coupled PT coupled microresonators, so that their eigen-frequencies are no longer complex conjugates after the EP.
