All-Optical Pulse Retiming Based on Quadratic Cascading in a Periodically Poled Lithium Niobate Waveguide

چکیده
We demonstrate an all-optical technique for the elimination of timing jitter in short pulse transmission systems. The technique relies on pulse pre-shaping followed by optical switching in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide via cascaded second harmonic and difference frequency generation. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.2330) Fiber optics communications; (130.3730) Lithium niobate; (190.2620) Harmonic generation and mixing; (190.4410) Nonlinear optics, parametric processes; (230.4320) Nonlinear optical devices; (270.2500) Fluctuations, relaxations, and noise.

All-optical tunable group-velocity control of femtosecond pulse by quadratic nonlinear cascading interactions.
Based on cascading nonlinear interactions of second harmonic generation (SHG) and difference frequency generation (DFG), we present a novel scheme to control the group velocity of femtosecond pulse in MgO doped periodically poled lithium niobate crystal. Group velocity of tunable signal pulse can be controlled by another pump beam within a wide bandwidth of 180nm. Fractional advancement of 2.4 ...

We suggest a novel scheme for multistep cascaded parametric processes based on a periodically poled nonlinear directional coupler and derive the conditions for simultaneous phase matching of the second-harmonic generation and sum-frequency mixing processes. We predict an efficient wavelength conversion by the cascaded third-harmonic generation from the third optical communication window (1.53-1...

We report on the generation of photon pairs in the 1550-nm band suitable for longdistance fiber-optic quantum key distribution. The photon pairs were generated in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide with a high conversion-efficiency. Using a pulsed semiconductor laser with a pulse rate of 800 kHz and a maximum average pump power of 50 μW, we obtained a coincidence rate of 600 s−1. Ou...

We have demonstrated the Šolc-type wavelength filters in a 52mm long periodically poled Ti diffused lithium niobate channel waveguide which has a domain period of 16.6μm. At room temperature, the center wavelength and the full-width at half maximum of the filter were about 1272.49nm and 0.23nm, respectively. The nearest side-lobe is about 7dB.
