“…The first attempts to tame light and confine it to a small volume to achieve new functionalities are certainly associated with the development of the laser, where a cavity is used both to maintain light in a gain medium and to define a narrow spectral linewidth . In the second half of the twentieth century, tremendous progress in semiconductor technology made possible the miniaturization of lasers, opening up the field of optoelectronics . Microcavities with a well‐controlled geometry are able to produce extremely strong fields and very narrow optical resonances, leading to very high quality factors Q .…”

Nanoscale photonic systems involve a broad variety of light–matter interaction regimes beyond the diffraction limit and have opened the path for a variety of application opportunities in sensing, solid‐state lighting, light harvesting, and optical signal processing. The need for numerical modeling is central for the understanding, control, and design of plasmonic and photonic nanostructures. Recently, the increasing sophistication of nanophotonic systems and processes, ranging from simple plasmonic nanostructures to multiscale and complex photonic devices, has been calling for highly efficient numerical simulation tools. This article reviews the state of the art in numerical methods for nanophotonics and describes which method is the best suited for specific problems. The widespread approaches derived from classical electrodynamics such as finite differences in time domain, finite elements, surface integral, volume integral, and hybrid methods are reviewed and illustrated by application examples. Their potential for efficient simulation of nanophotonic systems, such as those involving light propagation, localization, scattering, or multiphysical systems is assessed. The numerical modeling of complex systems including nonlinearity, nonlocal and quantum effects as well as new materials such as graphene is discussed in the perspective of actual and future challenges for computational nanophotonics.

“…In 1973, Hasegawa and Tappert proposed that optical soliton can formed by modulating the balance between dispersion and nonlinear effects including SRS [8] (also see the review literature [9]). Because of the unique shape-preserving property of optical soliton, it can be used to propagate information over long distances with extremely low energy loss.…”

A three-component transient stimulated Raman scattering system in nonlinear optics is investigated. By applying the Lax-Darboux scheme, analytical breather solutions are constructed. A detailed investigation was performed for the breathers of the off-diagonal density-matrix element, Stokes wave and pump wave. The system possesses both general and Kuznetsov-Ma breathers. Furthermore, an exact link is established between the phase states and spectrum parameter. Via adjusting the spectrum parameter, the breathers exhibit novel phase transitions. The amplitudes and densities of the wave envelopes also vary at the different phase states.
