چکیده
Qin Wang, Fei Xu, Zi-yan Yu, Xiao-shi Qian, Xi-kui Hu, Yan-qing Lu and Hui-Tian Wang National Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures Nanjing University, Nanjing 210093, China Abstract—we propose a bidirectional acousto-optic tunable optical diode based on a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide with defect. An acoustic wave propagates together with the light beam so that a collinear photon-phonon interaction happens, which affects the nonlinear optical processes in PPLN.

Efficient yellow-light generation by frequency doubling a narrow-linewidth 1150 nm ytterbium fiber oscillator.
A linearly polarized, narrow-linewidth, diode-pumped, Yb-doped silica-fiber oscillator operating at 1150 nm was frequency doubled to produce 40 mW of 575 nm radiation. The oscillator generated 89 mW of cw linearly polarized output power and was tunable over 0.80 nm. The laser output was coupled to a periodically poled LiNbO3 waveguide that converted 67% of the coupled power to the yellow. The s...

The development and characterization of a compact mid-infrared source for high-resolution spectroscopic detection of trace gases such as methane and water vapor at 3.3 μm in ambient air is reported. This source utilizes difference frequency generation (DFG) in a periodically poled LiNbO3 (PPLN) crystal pumped by two single-frequency diode lasers. A maximum DFG power of 1.6 μW at 3.6 μm was gene...

High-sensitivity detection of formaldehyde (CH2O) at 3.5315 micrometers (2831.64 cm-1) is reported with a diode-laser-pumped, fiber-coupled, periodically poled LiNbO3 spectroscopic source. This source replaced the Pb-salt diode laser Dewar assembly of an existing tunable diode-laser absorption spectrometer designed for ultrasensitive detection of CH2O. Spectra are recorded with 2f-modulation sp...

This work describes novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates based on ferroelectric periodically poled LiNbO3 templates. The templates comprise silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), the size and position of which are tailored by ferroelectric lithography. The substrate has uniform and large sampling areas that show SERS effective with excellent signal reproducibility, for which the fab...
