Spatial trapping of short pulses in Ti-indiffused LiNbO(3) waveguides.

چکیده
We show numerically and experimentally that spatial trapping can be induced in quadratic media even if the pump pulse's duration is shorter than the group-delay mismatch between fundamental wave and second-harmonic components. The influence of phase mismatch and pulse power on the trapping effect is discussed. Spatial, temporal, and spectral behaviors that accompany self-trapped propagation are highlighted.

Generation of 22mW of 532-nm radiation by frequency doubling in Ti:MgO:LiNbO3 waveguides.
We report temperature phase-matched second-harmonic generation of 1.064-Am radiation in Ti-indiffused waveguides in MgO-doped LiNbO3 substrates. Noncritical phase matching of the TE2 mode was achieved at 102-106°C. Owing to the high-temperature operation and the low photorefractivity of the waveguide, it was possible to generate 22-mW average-power 532-nm output. No evidence of photorefractive ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the enhanced evanescent fields of integrated waveguides for optical near-field sensing.
The sensitivity of an integrated optical sensing device can be enhanced by coating it with a high refractive index layer, while both incoupled intensity and spatial resolution are maintained. The potential for enhanced sensing is demonstrated using titanium indiffused waveguiding structures in LiNbO(3) coated with a TiO(2) film. To the best of our knowledge, it could be measured for the first t...
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 کاملCharacterization of proton-exchanged waveguides in MgO:LiNbO(3).
We report the fabrication and characterization of proton-exchanged waveguides in MgO-doped LiNbO(3), a high-optical-damage-threshold material. Results indicate waveguide characteristics similar to those of waveguides fabricated in undoped LiNbO(3) except for slower diffusion rates and freedom from etching of the y face when pure benzoic acid is used as a proton source. An optical-damage thresho...
متن کاملPhotorefractive recording by a special mechanism in planar LiNbO(3) waveguides.
Recording of holographic gratings in z-cut LiNbO(3) waveguides with extraordinarily (TM) polarized light is demonstrated. In this geometry, photovoltaic currents perpendicular to the guiding layer and the grating vector set up space-charge fields. The mechanism has no equivalent in bulk material.
