Rectification of light refraction in curved waveguide arrays

Published 6 Jan 2010 in physics.optics | (1001.0992v1)

Abstract: An 'optical ratchet' for discretized light in photonic lattices, which enables to observe rectification of light refraction at any input beam conditions, is theoretically presented, and a possible experimental implementation based on periodically-curved zigzag waveguide arrays is proposed.
