Abstract:
We study nonlinear dynamics of classical electromagnetic wave propagation in a one-dimensional nonlinear periodic photonic structure. It is found that the period of Rabi oscillations can be modulated by the relatively weak nonlinearity (2V0/gamma>1). When nonlinearity is relatively strong compared to the strength of resonant coupling (2V0/gamma<1), Rabi oscillations is suppressed and the system shows a dynamical behavior, i.e., energy localizes in one mode rather than full oscillation between two degenerated modes. Phase plane analysis is applied to explain these dynamical phenomena.
