Nano-metamaterials have been shown to exhibit unusual and configurable optical responses. In this paper we study visible-IR nonlinear transmission and all-optical switching enhancement of liquid crystals and neat organic liquids by dispersion of metallic nanospheres.

We describe a technique for achieving polarization-independent nonlinear interactions in a short nonlinear fiber, through the residual birefringence of the fiber. We apply this method to all-optical demultiplexing of high data rate signals.

By guiding the pump power in an additional non- silicon cladding, free-carrier absorption of the pump power in a silicon Raman amplifier can be mitigated, thereby enabling longer amplifiers with larger gain.

We have investigated the nonlinear light propagation in photonic crystal fibers filled with nematic liquid crystals. Light with a frequency within the photonic bandgap is propagating in the central glass core being the structure defect. Outside the bandgap analyzed fiber corresponds to the matrix of liquid crystalline waveguides. The changes of refractive index due to the temperature or/and nonlinear effects can lead to the bandgap shifting. As a consequence the incident beam with a frequency initially within the bandgap is then turned outside the bandgap resulting in the changing of the propagation for the discrete diffraction effect.

We investigate through a formalism similar to a coupled mode theory in time, the behavior of a system composed by a direct coupled cavity with inside it a quantum dot in cascade configuration. We derive the conditions for which switching can be achieved. Two quantum optical effects are considered: vacuum Rabi splitting and the Autler-Town doublet.

The interaction of (2D + 1) spatial solitons with the boundaries of nonlinear reorientational media is investigated in the presence of a highly nonlocal response. A power-dependent repulsion due to boundaries is demonstrated in nematic liquid crystals.

We discuss the potential for third-order parametric amplifiers, which utilize the inverse of the pure third harmonic process. We discuss fundamental limitations for novel quantum and classical devices, and discuss the design and construction of such a parametric amplifier in a novel waveguide design.
