| Summary: | In the absence of random mode mixing (RMM), linearization of the cross-mode modulation (XMM) under pump-probe configuration is in general complicated because the evolution of the pump light depends on the local mode decomposition of itself. In this work, general derivation of the Hamiltonian of the XMM system without RMM is carried out and discussed under two interesting scenarios where the pump evolution can be effectively linearized, leading to spatial dependent Hamiltonian of the probe light. Representative evolutions of pump and probe light over transmission are investigated with the assistance of Poincaré sphere based on the Hamiltonian approach. Our results are benchmarked against the results given by precession equations examined by Lin and Agrawal and numerical simulations using nonlinear coupled mode equations (CMEs). By highlighting the eigenstates as well as eigenvalues of the system, our approach provides an intuitive yet powerful approach to understand the XMM nonlinear problems and to dynamically manipulate the spatial profiles of the probe light. |
