Measurement of submicrometre diameters of tapered optical fibres using harmonic generation.
Applications of subwavelength-diameter optical fibres in nonlinear optics require precise knowledge of the submicrometre fibre waist diameter. We demonstrate a new technique for optical measurement of the diameter based on second- and third-harmonic generation with an accuracy of better than 2%. To generate the harmonic light, inter-modal phase matching must be achieved. We find that the phase-...
متن کاملThird-harmonic generation via broadband cascading in disordered quadratic nonlinear media.
We study parametric frequency conversion in quadratic nonlinear media with disordered ferroelectric domains. We demonstrate that disorder allows realizing broadband third-harmonic generation via cascading of two second-order quasi-phase matched nonlinear processes. We analyze both spatial and polarization properties of the emitted radiation and find the results in agreement with our theoretical...
متن کاملDemonstration of Dual-Tripler, Broadband Third-Harmonic Generation and Implications for OMEGA and the NIF
LLE Review, Volume 75 151 A critical concern for Nd:glass fusion lasers such as OMEGA and the National Ignition Facility (NIF) is the uniformity of irradiation experienced by the fusion target. Uniform beams are generated by beam-smoothing schemes such as smoothing by spectral dispersion (SSD),1 which vary the instantaneous speckle pattern on target on time scales that are short compared with r...
متن کاملDistinct broadband third-harmonic generation on a thin amorphous medium-air interface.
We achieve a series of distinct broadband third-harmonic generation (THG) signals at the amorphous glass-air interface attributed to third-order and cascaded third-order nonlinear processes. A novel THG laser sideband arises from cascaded interaction between fundamental pulses and the cascaded four-wave mixing signals. The spatially separated THG sidebands with distinct spectral profiles manife...
متن کاملBroadband scattering by tapered nanoantennas
1 Introduction Plasmonic nanoantennas have become a subject of considerable interest [1–3]. Numerous intriguing applications of nanoantennas in areas as diverse as optical and quantum communication, nonlinear optics, sensing, and photovoltaics have been discussed [3]. Ar-rayed nanoantennas like Yagi–Uda architectures down-scaled to nanometer dimensions are particularly suited for such applicati...
