A novel cascaded second-order nonlinear interaction (/spl chi//sup (2)/), which is simultaneously based on sum frequency generation (SFG) and difference frequency generation (DFG) processes, is proposed and analyzed in quasi-phase-matched wavelength converters. Analytical expressions with clear physical insights are derived for the converted light. It is shown that the same conversion efficiency can be achieved by employing two pump sources with lower output power (P/sub p1/,P/sub p2/) in this novel scheme as compared with the conventional cascaded wavelength conversion technique based on second-harmonic generation and difference frequency generation (SHG+DFG) with a single higher power pump beam (P/sub p/=P/sub p1/+P/sub p2/). The theoretical results are consistent with the experimental ones. It is found that the pump wavelength difference can be separated by a span as large as 75 nm, while large 3-dB signal conversion bandwidth is retained. The results show that the novel cascaded /spl chi//sup (2)/ wavelength conversion scheme is very attractive for practical applications. 相似文献

Theoretical research on cascaded terahertz difference-frequency generation based on sphalerite crystals 下载免费PDF全文
A theoretical model of cascaded terahertz(THz) difference-frequency generation is established based on one-dimensional coupled-wave equations.The relationships between sphalerite crystals’ wave vector mismatches and difference-frequency pump waves are analyzed.To produce terahertz wave with the frequency of 1.5 THz,80-order cascaded difference-frequency is applied.By introducing crystal absorption,we calculate the optimum crystal length and pump frequency under actual circumstances.It is found that Stokes waves dominate the terahertz waves output in cascaded progress,and cascaded difference-frequency can increase the photon conversion efficiency obviously. 相似文献

Based on the cascaded nonlinear interactions (/spl chi//sup (2)/:/spl chi//sup (2)/) of sum- and difference-frequency generation (SFG+DFG), a novel all-optical wavelength conversion scheme is proposed for the first time in periodically poled LiNbO/sub 3/ (PPLN) waveguide, in which a double-pass configuration is introduced. The performance of this scheme is thus different from the previous single-pass SFG+DFG scheme. The concept of the "balance condition" is presented to optimize the power and frequencies of the two pump sources. Under this condition, the energy is transferred irreversibly from the pump waves to the SF wave during the forward propagation. The equations describing the SFG can be solved analytically under this condition. Subsequently, the DFG equations are solved under the assumption that the SF wave would be constant during the backward propagation. Theoretical expressions are derived and are found to be consistent with numerical calculations. Compared with the conventional converter based on the cascaded /spl chi//sup (2)/:/spl chi//sup (2)/ interactions of second-harmonic generation and difference frequency generation SHG+DFG, the same conversion efficiency can be achieved in our scheme by employing two pump sources with lower power, or conversely higher conversion efficiency can be reached using two pump sources similar to that used in SFG+DFG scheme. The profile of the conversion efficiency can be further improved by adjusting the wavelengths of the two pump sources. In addition, compared with the single-pass SFG+DFG scheme, the main advantage of this new scheme rests on the fact that the conversion efficiency can be enhanced significantly. The advantages of the double-pass SHG+DFG scheme and the single-pass SFG+DFG scheme are combined in this new design to a great extent. 相似文献

Recent progresses made by authors on monochromatic and tunable terahertz (THz) generation based on nonlinear optics are reviewed, including THz parametric oscillation (TPO) and difference frequency generation (DFG). From the technical point of view, we develop extra- and intra-cavity surface-emitted TPO, as well as DFG with QPM-GaAs crystal. From the point of view of mechanism, Cherenkov phase-matching is comprehensively investigated in both bulk crystal and planar waveguide. A novel scheme for cascading enhanced Cherenkov DFG in waveguide is proposed. From the point of view of material, organic crystal 4-N,N-dimethylamino-4'-N'-methyl-stibazolium tosylate (DAST) is utilized as the nonlinear medium. 相似文献

Threshold and conversion efficiency of a cascaded continuous-wave (CW) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) which can obtain CW terahertz (THz) light are analyzed by the plane wave approach. The model predicts experimental results of the first-order cascaded threshold. The theoretically predicted threshold for the backward idler parametric process agrees with the experimental data. Validation with a high-order cascaded parametric process awaits completion of experiments. At a pump wavelength of 1,030 nm and temperature of 120 °C, the threshold intensity of the forward idler parametric process was 2.2–2.4 times that of the backward process when the period length of the MgO:periodically poled lithium niobate crystal was 24–30 μm. The energy efficiency of CW THz light at a cascade order smaller than 6 is 10?5–10?4. Moreover, efficiency of N cascaded processes can be increased by a factor of N compared with that of a single parametric process, which is limited by the Manley–Rowe relationship. To our knowledge, this is the first theoretical treatment of threshold and energy efficiency of a cascaded CW OPO. 相似文献

We compare the output spectra and data streams of a conventional 1550-nm semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with its gain-clamped (GCSOA) counterpart, in order to assess the impact of gain clamping on cross-gain modulation (XGM) and difference frequency generation (DFG). Whereas the conventional SOA exhibits a large amount of crosstalk due to XGM, there is virtually no XGM present in the GCSOA. However, the XGM effect in the SOA shows evidence of diminished efficiency at moderate input levels. We observe much higher DFG levels from the GCSOA (roughly 10 dB greater than the SOA). These DFG levels are such that cascaded wavelength cross-connect devices, in-line amplifiers, and even optical gates could experience inhibited performance 相似文献

We propose and investigate in detail a novel tunable, compact, room temperature terahertz (THz) emitter using individual microdisk resonators for both optical and THz waves with the capability of radiating THz field in 0.5–10 THz range with tuning frequency resolution of 0.05 THz. Enhanced THz generation is achieved by employing a nonlinear optical disk resonator with a high value of second-order nonlinearity (χ (2)) in order to facilitate the difference-frequency generation (DFG) via nonlinear mixing with the choice of two appropriate input infrared optical waves. Efficient coupling of infrared waves from bus to the nonlinear disk is ensured by satisfying critical coupling condition. Phase matching condition for efficient DFG process is also met by employing modal phase matching technique. Our simulations show that THz output power can be reached up to milliwatt (mW) level with high optical to THz conversion efficiency. The proposed source is Silicon on Insulator (SoI) technology compatible enabling the monolithic integration with Si complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) electronics including plasmonic THz detectors. 相似文献

Design of GaAs/AlxGa1?xAs asymmetric quantum wells for THz-wave by difference frequency generation 下载免费PDF全文
The energy levels, wave functions and the second-order nonlinear susceptibilities are calculated in GaAs/Al0.2Ga0.8As/Al0.5Ga0.5As asymmetric quantum well (AQW) by using an asymmetric model based on the parabolic and non-parabolic band. The influence of non-parabolicity can not be neglected when analyzing the phenomena in narrow quantum wells and in higher lying subband edges in wider wells. The numerical results show that under double resonance (DR) conditions, the second-order difference frequency generation (DFG) and optical rectification (OR) generation susceptibilities in the AQW reach 2.5019 mm/V and 13.208 mm/V, respectively, which are much larger than those of the bulk GaAs. Besides, we calculate the absorption coefficient of AQW and find out the two pump wavelengths correspond to the maximum absorption, so appropriate pump beams must be selected to generate terahertz (THz) radiation by DFG. 相似文献

We have investigated the characteristics of a terahertz (THz) beam steering method based on a combination of difference-frequency
generation (DFG) with the principle of the phased array antenna. In the DFG of THz radiation from a nonlinear optical crystal
pumped by optical beams, the phase front of the THz radiation is indirectly tilted by adjusting the relative incidence angle
between the pump beams to the crystal. A magnification of the steering angle with a factor of 193 is demonstrated as the most
important effect provided by the method. The effect allows the use of a high-speed optical deflector for adjusting the incidence
angle, accelerating the steering more than a hundred times compared with mechanical methods. The phase mismatching between
the THz radiation and the pump beams as well as the refraction at the crystal surface limit the steering angle of the THz
radiation to 56°, full width at half maximum. 相似文献

Reported is an all-optical high-speed three-input logic AND gate using cascaded sum- and difference-frequency generation (cSFG/DFG) in a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide. The converted idler wave via cSFG/DFG carries the AND result of the three-input signals. PPLN-based 40 Gbit/s three-input logic AND operations for both non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and return-to-zero (RZ) signals are successfully demonstrated in the experiment. 相似文献

Although high-repetition-rate dual-wavelength Nd:YAG lasers at 1319 and 1338 nm have been realized for quite a long time, we have employed it in generating monochromatic terahertz (THz) wave in this paper for the first time. The dual-wavelength laser was LD-end-pumped and acousto-optically (AO) Q-switched with the output power of watt level operating at different repetition rates from 5.5 to 30 kHz. Using a 0.6-mm-thick organic nonlinear crystal DAST for difference frequency generation (DFG), a compact terahertz source was achieved at 3.28 THz. The maximum average output power was about 0.58 μW obtained at a repetition rate of 5.5 kHz, corresponding to the conversion efficiency of about 6.4?×?10?7. The output power scaling is still feasible with higher pump power and a longer nonlinear DFG crystal. Owing to the compactness of the dual-wavelength laser and the nonlinear crystal, a palm-top terahertz source is expected for portable applications such as imaging and so on. 相似文献
