چکیده
We describe a novel pulse-delayed scheme to realize degenerate optical parametric amplification in chi((3)) planar waveguides. The scheme utilizes two identical birefringent plates placed before and after a chi((3)) planar waveguide to implement a single-arm, pulse-multiplexed nonlinear Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Using this scheme, we demonstrate ultrafast degenerate optical parametric amplification in AlGaAs waveguides.

Pulse compression and gain enhancement in a degenerate optical parametric amplifier based on aperiodically poled crystals.
We describe theoretically a method of obtaining pulse compression and simultaneously improving amplification in a degenerate optical parametric amplifier by use of quasi-phase-matched engineered crystals. The scheme combines the possibility of increasing the signal spectral bandwidth that is offered by a degenerate parametric amplifier with the ability of engineered aperiodically poled crystals...
متن کاملNarrow-linewidth near-degenerate optical parametric generation achieved with quasi-group-velocity-matching in lithium niobate waveguides.
We demonstrate narrow-linewidth near-degenerate optical parametric generation in reverse-proton-exchange lithium niobate waveguides with quasi-group-velocity-matching, which is realized by using wavelength-selective directional couplers and tight-radius bends. With appropriate designs for 1.6 ps long pump pulses at 785.1 nm we obtained near-degenerate signal (idler) pulses with a time-bandwidth...
متن کاملOptical pulse compression based on nonlinear silicon waveguides and chirped Bragg gratings
Due to the growing demand for higher bandwidth, employing optical devices instead of electronic devices in data transmission systems has attracted much attention in recent years. Optical switches, modulators and wavelength converters are a few examples of the required optical devices. CMOS compatible fabrication of these devices, leads to much more growing of this technology. Optical pulse comp...
متن کاملQuadrature squeezing with ultrashort pulses in nonlinear-optical waveguides.
Using ultrashort laser pulses, we have observed quadrature squeezing and parametric gain in quasi-phase-matched KTiOPO(4) waveguides. Using a local oscillator pulse that is 2.5 times shorter than the squeezed pulse, we observed noise reduction of 12 +/- 1% below the shot-noise level. Parametric amplification and deamplification of a coherent seed pulse have also been observed, with no indicatio...
متن کاملUltra-broadband Optical Parametric Chirped Pulse Amplification By Two Broadband Pump Beams
Optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA) is suitable for a new approach to few-cycle, high-peak-power laser systems because of its broad gain bandwidth and large single-pass gain while maintaining negligible thermal load in a nonlinear crystal. In order to amplify ultrabroad bandwidth, various types of OPCPA schemes are proposed and demonstrated. Generally, non-collinear OPCPA (NO...
