Abstract

We study the process of appearing three-wave solitons in the form of weakly coupled states under the action of pulsed optical pump in a two-mode square-law nonlinear waveguide. The analytical model for this stimulated process with slightly mismatched wave numbers predicts sculpturing multi-pulse optical components of three-wave coupled states. Both the analysis of sculpturing multi-pulse coupled states in non-stationary regime and the experimental studies are carried out. Then, the analysis developed is exploited to realize the binary encoded digital modulation of light based on collinear three-wave coupled states. An opportunity of applying this technique of localizing multi-pulse optical components inherent in coupled states to the problem of binary modulation of light beam is experimentally demonstrated.
