From higher-order Kerr nonlinearities to quantitative modeling of third and fifth harmonic generation in argon.

چکیده
The recent measurement of negative higher-order Kerr effect (HOKE) terms in gases has given rise to a controversial debate, fed by its impact on short laser pulse propagation. By comparing the experimentally measured yield of the third and fifth harmonics, with both an analytical and a full comprehensive numerical propagation model, we confirm the absolute and relative values of the reported HOKE indices.

متن کاملBright and dark solitary waves in the presence of third-harmonic generation
We analyze the effect of phase-matched third-harmonic generation on the existence and stability of (1 1 1)-dimensional bright and dark spatial solitary waves in optical media with a cubic (or Kerr) nonlinear response. We demonstrate that parametric coupling of the fundamental beam with the third harmonic leads to the existence of two-color solitary waves resembling those in a x (2) medium and t...
متن کاملNonlinear Modeling and Investigating the Nonlinear Effects on Frequency Response of Silicon Bulk-mode Ring Resonator
This paper presents a nonlinear analytical model for micromechanical silicon ring resonators with bulk-mode vibrations. A distributed element model has been developed to describe the dynamic behavior of the micromechanical ring resonator. This model shows the nonlinear effects in a silicon ring resonator focusing on the effect of large amplitudes around the resonance frequency, material and ele...
متن کاملSecond-harmonic-assisted four-wave mixing in chip-based microresonator frequency comb generation
Simultaneous Kerr comb formation and second-harmonic generation with on-chip microresonators can greatly facilitate comb self-referencing for optical clocks and frequency metrology. Moreover, the presence of both secondand third-order nonlinearities results in complex cavity dynamics that is of high scientific interest but is still far from being well-understood. Here, we demonstrate that the i...
متن کاملNonlinear optical phenomena on rough surfaces of metal thin films
Nonlinear optical phenomena on rough self-affine metal surfaces are theoretically studied. Placing nonlinearly polarizable molecules on such surfaces results in strong enhancement of optical nonlinearities. A quasistatic approximation is used to calculate local-enhancement factors for the second and third harmonic generation, degenerate four-wave mixing, and nonlinear Kerr effect. The calculati...
