Phase-controlled transistor action by cascading of second-order nonlinearities in KTP.

چکیده
We demonstrate a 4.6-to-1 modulation depth imposed on the fluence of an intense 1.06-microm picosecond pulse by varying the relative phase of a weak second-harmonic control pulse under near phase-matched conditions. This transistorlike action is based on quadratic nonlinearities in KTP.

Phase-Insensitive All-Optical Transistors Based on Second-Order Nonlinearities - Quantum Electronics, IEEE Journal of
We demonstrate and compare two phase-insensitive all-optical transistors (AOT’s) based on frequency-degenerate quadratic three-wave interactions. In particular, we demonstrate gain using KTP in a type II geometry. Both AOT’s exploit the phase insensitivity inherent to three-wave parametric processes when only two fields are input, providing amplification of a small signal at the operating frequ...
متن کاملPhase-insensitive, single wavelength, all- optical transistor based on second order nonlinearities - Electronics Letters
Nonlinearities produced by the cascading of second order nonlinear ( x ( ~ ) ) materials, have been known for many years [l, 21. However, advances in nonlinear materials have spurred a resurgence of interest in such phenomena [3, 41. In particular, several schemes for applying cascading in second harmonic generating (SHG) crystals to optical transistor-like devices have been proposed [5, 61 and...
متن کاملObservation of triply coincident nonlinearities in periodically poled KTiOPO4.
We report the simultaneous quasi-phase-matching of all three possible nonlinearities for propagation along the X axis of periodically poled (PP) KTiOPO4 (KTP) for second-harmonic generation of 745 nm pulsed light from 1490 nm subpicosecond pulses in a PPKTP crystal with a 45.65 microm poling period. This confirms the recent Sellmeier fits for KTP by Kato and Takaoka [Appl. Opt. 41, 5040 (2002)]...
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...

The large nonlinear phase shifts imparted to the fundamental beam during Cerenkov second harmonic generation (SHG) in a DAN, 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3_acetamidonitrobenzene, single crystal core fiber are explained and modelled numerically. Cascading upconversion and downconversion processes leads to nonlinear phase shifts produced by the second order nonlinear coupling of the guided fundamental m...
