چکیده
We use mode multiplexing and demultiplexing in apodized aperiodically poled lithium niobate waveguides to enable characterization of picosecond optical pulses in a collinear but background-free way using autocorrelation and second-harmonic frequency-resolved optical gating.

Ultrasensitive nonlinear measurements of femtosecond pulses in the telecommunications band by aperiodically poled LiNbO3 waveguides.
We have used aperiodically poled lithium niobate waveguides to perform intensity autocorrelation and frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) measurements for ultraweak femtosecond pulses at 1.5 microm wavelength. The required pulse energies for intensity autocorrelation and FROG are as low as 52 aJ and 124 aJ, respectively. The corresponding sensitivities are 3.2 x 10(-7) mW(2) and 2.7 x 10(-6...
متن کاملUltrasensitive second-harmonic generation frequency-resolved optical gating by aperiodically poled LiNbO3 waveguides at 1.5 microm.
We retrieve intensity and phase profiles of 280 fs, 50 MHz optical pulses with 124 aJ coupled pulse energy (960 photons) by second-harmonic generation (SHG) frequency-resolved optical gating, using aperiodically poled LiNbO3 waveguides. The strong nonlinear interaction that is due to confinement within the micrometer-sized waveguide structure and the linearly chirped poling period contribute, r...
متن کاملSensing and compensation of femtosecond waveform distortion induced by all-order polarization mode dispersion at selected polarization states.
We demonstrate full characterization of femtosecond pulse distortion induced by all-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) at selected polarization states via second-harmonic generation (SHG) frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) measurements at an average power of under 28 nW. By applying the inverse of the measured spectral phase via a programmable pulse shaper, we compress the distorted...
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 کاملOptical arbitrary waveform characterization via dual-quadrature spectral shearing interferometry.
We demonstrate a new dual-quadrature spectral shearing interferometry technique appropriate for spectral phase characterization of arbitrary optical waveforms generated by line-by-line shaping of high-repetition- rate (approximately 10 GHz) optical frequency combs. Spectral shearing interferograms are generated through sum-frequency mixing of the frequency comb field with a pair of reference to...
