Spatial mode discrimination using second harmonic generation.
Second harmonic generation (SHG) can be used as a technique for controlling the spatial mode structure of optical beams. We demonstrate experimentally the generation of higher-order spatial modes, and the possibility to use nonlinear phase matching as a predictable and robust technique for the conversion of transverse electric modes of the second harmonic output. The details of this effect are ...
متن کاملBright high-order harmonic generation with controllable polarization from a relativistic plasma mirror
Ultrafast extreme ultraviolet (XUV) sources with a controllable polarization state are powerful tools for investigating the structural and electronic as well as the magnetic properties of materials. However, such light sources are still limited to only a few free-electron laser facilities and, very recently, to high-order harmonic generation from noble gases. Here we propose and numerically dem...
متن کاملModeling comparison of second-harmonic generation in high-index-contrast devices
In this paper we model second-harmonic generation in a microphotonic structure using two different numerical methods. The proposed two-dimensional waveguide device is challenging as it incorporates a high-contrast grating, which instigates strong local enhancement but also radiation losses. The first simulation method extends the time-domain beam propagation method, whereas the second one build...
متن کاملHigh Contrast Interferometric Second Harmonic Generation Microscopy Probes the Polarity of Fibrils in Complex Collagenous Tissues
In recent years, Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) microscopy has emerged as a powerful technique to image in situ non-centrosymmetric structures in tissues. In particular, SHG appears to be a very sensitive structural probe of the 3D architecture of collagen, a major structural protein of vertebrates, in biological tissues. However, due to the coherence of SHG, the signal intensity depends not ...
متن کاملSpatial behavior of light in second-harmonic generation
We investigate the spatial behavior of nonclassical light produced by type I second-harmonic generation in the traveling-wave configuration. An input-output transformation for the system of fundamental and secondharmonic field is derived in the framework of a linearization approach and used to investigate the properties of an optical system, which consists of a crystal with a quadratic nonlinea...
