@Book{1697021778, author="Eichelkraut, Toni", title="Light evolution in dissipative waveguide lattices", year="2018", address="Rostock", abstract="This thesis aims at laying the foundation for handling parity-time-symmetric structures in femtosecond-LASER-written waveguide arrays. This is done by presenting a thorough theoretical and experimental investigation of sinusoidally modulated waveguides. In addition, this thesis comprises the first experimental realization of a parity-time-symmetric structure on this platform, as well as an extended coupled mode theory for dissipative waveguides. In this context, the existence of diffusion in ordered parity-time-symmetric systems is discussed.", school="Universit{\"a}t Rostock", note="vorgelegt von Toni Eichelkraut", note="GutachterInnen: Alexander Szameit (Universit{\"a}t Rostock, Institut f{\"u}r Physik) ; Holger Fehske (Universit{\"a}t Greifswald, Institut f{\"u}r Physik) ; Stefan Rotter (TU Wien, Institut f{\"u}r Theoretische Physik)", note="Dissertation Universit{\"a}t Rostock 2019", doi="10.18453/rosdok_id00002662", url="http://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00002662", url="https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00002662-2", url="https://d-nb.info/1293659525/34", url="https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00002662", language="English" }
