Nonlinear phase shift and all-optical switching in quasi-phase-matched quadratic media.

چکیده
Recently it was shown that in quasi-phase-matched quadratic media the average intensities are subject to an induced Kerr effect. We analytically study the influence of this induced cubic nonlinearity on the amplitude and phase modulation of the fundamental wave and predict efficient all-optical switching.

Spatial switching of quadratic solitons in engineered quasi-phase-matched structures.
We show that a variety of quasi-phase-matched structures with engineered patterns can potentially be used for soliton control in quadratic nonlinear media. We study geometries with dislocations, tilts, and wells and predict spatial switching between different output soliton states. Experimental implementation conditions are discussed.
متن کاملE. Wolf, Progress in Optics 44 C 2004 All Rights Reserved X Multistep Parametric Processes in Nonlinear Optics
We present a comprehensive overview of different types of parametric interactions in nonlinear optics which are associated with simultaneous phase-matching of several optical processes in quadratic nonlinear media, the so-called multistep parametric interactions. We discuss a number of possibilities of double and multiple phase-matching in engineered structures with the sign-varying second-orde...
متن کاملLarge nonlinear phase modulation in quasi-phase-matched KTP waveguides as a result of cascaded second-order processes.
It has been known for many years that a nonlinear phase shift can occur with non-phase-matched second-harmonic generation in particular and with parametric processes in general.1·2 Frequently it is an undesirable factor that leads to instabilities in parametric oscillators. Such a nonlinear phase shift has been measured experimentally in bulk KTP at 1.06 11-m with Z-scan techniques, 3 which mea...
متن کاملEffect of Nonlinear Phase Variation in Optical Millimetre Wave Radio over Fibre Systems
In this paper, we propose an optical millimetre wave radio-over-fibre (mm-wave RoF) system that uses a dual drive Mach Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM), which is biased at the maximum transmission biasing point, to generate an optical double sideband-suppressed carrier. The input to the DD-MZM are binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 8-phase shift keying (8-PSK) and...
متن کاملAll-Optical Wavelength Selective Switching Exploiting the Nonlinear Phase Shift Induced by Cascaded Sum and Difference Frequency Generation (cSFG/DFG) in a Ti:PPLN Channel Waveguide
The predicted growth of broadband services, has led to extensive research for high capacity systems and networks. Current efforts are concentrated on the investigation of optical time-division multiplexing (OTDM) techniques combined with wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) in order to fully utilize the potential of the installed fibers. All-optical switches, which can route a signal spatiall...
