Abstract

In this paper, we discuss experimental feasibility and present several system designs that could be potentially used for generation of new frequencies by light waves interacting with moving photonic crystals. In particular, we first theoretically analyze multiple frequency generation when incident light is reflected or diffracted by the moving infinite 1D photonic crystals of different orientations. We then demonstrate frequency harmonics generation via leaky waves of a moving finite-size 1D photonic crystal. Finally, we study dispersion relations of modes guided in the hollow core of a moving waveguide. In particular, we demonstrate frequency comb generation inside of the hollow core of a moving 2D photonic crystal waveguide.
