Low-threshold spatial solitons in reverse-proton-exchanged periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides.

چکیده
Combining reverse proton exchange and uniform periodic poling in LiNbO3 planar waveguides, we demonstrate low-energy spatial optical solitons by second-harmonic generation at room temperature, with a threshold as low as 23 pJ/microm at 1.5 microm.

Fiber-feedback continuous-wave and synchronously-pumped singly-resonant ring optical parametric oscillators using reverse-proton-exchanged periodically-poled lithium niobate waveguides.
We describe guided-wave singly-resonant reverse-proton-exchanged (RPE) periodically-poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide ring optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) in which the feedback was provided via a single-mode fiber pigtailed to the waveguide. Wavelength selection was achieved by means of a fiber Bragg grating inside the feedback loop. The SRO threshold for the synchronously-pumped OPO...
متن کاملOptimized Digital Optical Switch Using Proton Exchanged Lithium Niobate Waveguides
The main emphasis in developing DOS has been on achieving low crosstalk (CT). CT in the order of -30 dB is acceptable in conventional DOS and below that value is hard to achieve. Relatively low drive voltage (or power requirements) is also necessary to optimized DOS. This paper depicts the design of Y-branched digital optical switches (DOS) with optimized on-chip area coverage, reduced driving ...
متن کاملPicojoule threshold, picosecond optical parametric generation in reverse proton-exchanged lithium niobate waveguides
We have demonstrated picosecond optical parametric generation in reverse proton-exchanged waveguides in periodically poled lithium niobate with thresholds as low as 200 pJ. Near-transform-limited near-infrared pulses were obtained from cascaded optical parametric generation. For a 1.8-ps (FWHM) pump pulse at 769.6 nm, a saturated internal photon-conversion efficiency of 33% was obtained with 1 ...
متن کاملLight-enhanced electro-optic spectral tuning in annealed proton-exchanged periodically poled lithium niobate channel waveguides.
We report the observation of light-enhanced electro-optic spectral tuning in annealed proton-exchanged, asymmetric domain-duty-cycle periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) channel waveguides for second-harmonic generation. The spectral tuning rate was increased rapidly from 0.07 nm/(kV/mm) to a saturated value of 0.32 nm/(kV/mm) in a 30%/70% domain-duty-cycle PPLN waveguide when the fundamen...
متن کاملHighly efficient second-harmonic generation in buried waveguides formed by annealed and reverse proton exchange in periodically poled lithium niobate.
Efficient three-wave mixing devices have numerous applications, including wavelength conversion, dispersion compensation, and all-optical switching. Second-harmonic generation (SHG) is a useful diagnostic for near-degenerate operation of these devices. With buried waveguides formed in periodically poled lithium niobate by annealed and reverse proton exchange, we demonstrate what is believed to ...
