چکیده
Femto-second laser writing was used to fabricate waveguides in KTP with losses below 0.8 dB/cm. They were used for efficient broad bandwidth, Type II frequency doubling of cw Ti-sapphire laser radiation at 1080.4 nm. Keywords; laser written waveguides, low loss, broad bandwidth, KTP, type II frequency doubling

85 % efficiency for cw frequency doubling from 1 . 08 to 0 . 54 , um
Because of the nonlinear nature of the process and the generally small susceptibilities involved, harmonic generation with high conversion efficiency is most often realized only for pulsed radiation with high intensity for a short period.1 By contrast, the intensity available for cw operation is usually limited to much smaller values than for pulsed operation, with a concomitant reduction in co...
متن کاملFabrication of low-loss Rb-exchanged ridge waveguides in z-cut KTiOPO4
We report on the fabrication and characterization of ridge waveguides in z-cut KTiOPO4 fabricated by Rb-ion exchange and subsequent precise diamond-blade dicing. Low attenuation values of 1.3 dB/cm (1.6 dB/cm) were determined at a wavelength of 1550 nm for TE (TM) polarization. Surface quality obtained by dicing is excellent for side walls of diced ridges and prepared end faces used for light c...
متن کاملQuadratic spatial soliton generation by seeded downconversion of a strong harmonic pump beam: errata.
Two-dimensional quadratic spatial solitons were generated experimentally near phase-matching conditions for type II frequency doubling in KTP by the seeding of a strong second-harmonic field with a weak input at the fundamental wavelength. The self-trapped beams were shown to be insensitive to the energy, phase, and polarization of the fundamental-frequency seed input beam.
متن کاملUV absorption spectroscopy in optically dense fireballs using achromatic frequency doubling of a broadband modeless dye laser
Optical diagnostics of fireballs, such as in high explosives and metal dust cloud combustion, are typically done in emission due to the intense luminosity, but because of the optical thickness of the fireball, the emission measurement is typically only representative of information near the surface of the fireball. Absorption techniques provide a path averaged measurement and give information a...
متن کاملBroadband monolithic extractor for metal-metal waveguide based terahertz quantum cascade laser frequency combs
We present a monolithic solution to extract efficiently light from terahertz quantum cascade lasers with metal-metal waveguides suitable for broadband frequency comb applications. The design is optimized for a bandwidth of 500 GHz around a center frequency of 2.6 THz. A five-fold increase in total output power is observed compared to standard metal-metal waveguides. The extractor features a sin...
