Negative-frequency dispersive wave generation in quadratic media
Résumé
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.
