We introduce resonant oscillatons and adiabatic transitions for light modes in modulated waveguides. This phenomenon, analogous to quantum systems, occurs in both linear and nonlinear regimes and complex structures.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Waveguide Theory
  • Quantum Analogies

Background:

  • Multimode waveguides support various light modes.
  • Modulation of waveguides can influence light propagation.
  • Analogies between classical and quantum systems offer insights into light behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the concept of resonant, Rabi-like oscillatons.
  • To investigate adiabatic transitions between confined light modes.
  • To explore these phenomena in both linear and nonlinear regimes and diverse waveguide geometries.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical modeling of light propagation in modulated multimode waveguides.
  • Analysis of resonant phenomena and adiabatic transitions.
  • Examination of both linear and nonlinear optical regimes.

Main Results:

  • Demonstration of resonant, Rabi-like oscillatons.
  • Observation of adiabatic transitions between confined light modes.
  • Confirmation of these transitions in simple and complex waveguide structures, across linear and nonlinear regimes.

Conclusions:

  • Resonant oscillatons and adiabatic mode transitions are viable in modulated multimode waveguides.
  • The findings extend to complex waveguide designs and both linear and nonlinear optics.
  • The phenomenon provides a classical optical analog to stimulated transitions in quantum systems.
