Proposal for sum-frequency generation based on modal phase-matching in photonic crystal fibers

In this paper, we report on a feasible phase matching between three low-order modes guided in an appropriately designed photonic crystal fiber (PCF). The phase matching condition for sum-frequency generation (SFG) can be realized over a large wavelength range by modifying the air holes size and the lattice pitch. This can be achieved in the proposed photonic crystal fiber because the sum-frequency wave propagating in a LP₀₂ mode leaks more into the low refractive index cladding than does the fundamental wave. By “feeling the cladding”, the LP₀₂ mode compensates for the increased refractive index of the silica at the sum-frequency wavelength. The numerical results show that the SFG in the proposed nonlinear PCF can be tunable, and the pump and sum-frequency waves are well-confined in the fiber core region.     

Raman oscillation with intracavity sum-frequency generation

We use a plane-wave analysis to examine a Raman oscillator containing an intracavity sum-frequency interaction that frequency sums the circulating first-order Stokes radiation with the pump radiation. We find that there is an optimum ratio between the nonlinear coupling in the Raman medium and the nonlinear coupling in the sum-frequency generator. We also find that higher order Stokes radiation should be suppressed with the optimum choice of nonlinear coupling in the sum-frequency interaction. Numerical integration of the equations containing transverse effects predicts a time-averaged power-conversion efficiency of 61.4% for conversion of 532- to 273.5-nm radiation using a CW mode-locked frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser with Ba(NO₂) ₃ for the Raman material and CsLiB₆O₁₀ (CLBO) for the sum-frequency material

Plane-wave dynamics of optical parametric oscillation withsimultaneous sum-frequency generation

This paper presents a theoretical analysis of sum-frequency generating optical parametric oscillators where a single nonlinear crystal is used for both parametric generation and sum-frequency generation. In these devices, the parametric and sum-frequency generation processes are both phase matched for the same direction of propagation inside the crystal. Different polarization geometries for which this simultaneous phase-matching condition can potentially be satisfied are identified and categorized, for both birefringent and quasi-phase-matching methods. Plane-wave coupled-mode equations are presented for each of these categories. Solutions of these coupled mode equations and calculation of the single-pass saturated signal gain are outlined. Intracavity signal photon flux density calculations based on these solutions lead to stable steady-state upconversion, multistability, and chaos. The dependence of the photon conversion efficiency on various design parameters are investigated

Continuously tunable sum-frequency generation involving sodium Rydberg states

Broadly tunable sum-frequency generation has been observed in a vapor of atomic sodium in the presence of a dc electric field. This field induces achi^{(2)}nonlinearity which is resonantly enhanced when the sum frequency corresponds to the energy separation between the ground state and an atomic Rydberg state. In a vapor of number density4 times 10^{14}cm^-3, we obtain an energy conversion efficiency as large as3 times 10^{-4}and achi^{(2)}as large as1.2 times 10^{-8}ESU. We have also observed sum-frequency generation in the absence of an applied dc field, and we relate these observations to mechanisms that have been proposed to explain this effect.
