We show that the extremely blueshifted dispersive wave emitted in Kerr media owing to the coupling with the negative-frequency branch [E. Rubino et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 253901 (2012)] can be observed in quadratic media via second-harmonic generation. Not only is such a phenomenon thus independent of the specific nonlinear mechanism, but it is shown to occur regardless of the fact that the process is pumped by a pulse which exhibits soliton-like features or vice versa undergoes wave breaking. A simple unified formula gives the frequencies of the emitted dispersive waves in both cases.

Abstract
We show that the extremely blueshifted dispersive wave emitted in Kerr media owing to the coupling with the negative-frequency branch [E. Rubino et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 253901 (2012)] can be observed in quadratic media via second-harmonic generation. Not only is such a phenomenon thus independent of the specific nonlinear mechanism, but it is shown to occur regardless of the fact that the process is pumped by a pulse which exhibits soliton-like features or vice versa undergoes wave breaking. A simple unified formula gives the frequencies of the emitted dispersive waves in both cases.File in questo prodotto:
