加偏压中心对称双光子光折变晶体中多变量空间灰孤子

 为了得到有偏压的中心对称双光子光折变晶体中存在多变量空间灰孤子的结果,基于中心对称双光子光折变晶体中空间灰孤子的基本理论,采用数值方法推导出了中心对称双光子多变量空间灰孤子归一化包络解的积分形式,并对其特性进行研究。结果表明：这种多变量空间灰孤子是由多束偏振方向和波长都相同的互不相干光束耦合形成的。当多变量空间灰孤子只包含有1个或2个光束分量成分时,它自动退化到中心对称双光子空间灰孤子或中心对称双光子非相干耦合灰 灰空间孤子对的情况。当这一多变量空间灰孤子在有偏压的中心对称双光子光折变晶体中传播时,各分量成分光束都能稳定传播。

Ce∶BaTiO3中光折变光栅衍射效率上升现象及分析

在对Ce∶BaTiO3晶体进行双光束干涉光折变光栅暗衰减特性的实验研究中,发现了暗条件下光折变光栅归一化衍射效率长时间上升的异常现象：在e光偏振、大入射角度产生光折变光栅的实验中,衍射效率在长逾8 h的时间内持续上升.而在e光干涉、小入射角度和o光干涉时均未出现衍射效率长时间上升的现象.分析认为：由于自泵浦位相共轭光的产生和晶体中的两个深能级参与了光折变过程,形成了衰减速度不同、光栅方向垂直的两个光栅,导致了暗衰减时衍射效率的长时间上升.

The experimental setup of this method is very simple and flexible. The period of the lattices can be dominated easily. We analyze the three-dimensional photonic lattices by plane wave guiding and far field diffraction pattern imaging. The induced photonic lattices can exist stably for a long time in the photorefractive crystal.

We fabricate two-dimensional elliptic photonic lattices in iron-doped lithium niobate photorefractive crystal for the first time with optical induction method. The experimental setup of our method is very simple and flexible without complicated optical adjustment system. We analyze and verify the two-dimensional elliptic photonic lattices by plane wave guiding, far field diffraction pattern imaging, and Brillouin-zone spectroscopy. Induced elliptic photonic lattices can stably exist for a long time in the iron-doped lithium niobate crystal. The induced two-dimensional elliptic photonic lattices might offer an easy method to study generic band gap phenomena in anisotropic periodic structures.     

Integrated-grating-induced control of second-harmonic beams in frequency-doubling crystals

We report a novel type of integrated nonlinear photonic device for controlling the generation of several second-harmonic beams. Two-dimensional diffraction gratings are recorded with femtosecond laser pulses at the entrance surface of a frequency-doubling crystal. This periodic spatial modulation of the material surface induces noncollinear propagation of the fundamental input signal in the crystal. By slightly changing the angle of incidence of the seed beam, collinear and noncollinear phase matching can be achieved between different diffraction orders, in this way allowing the efficient generation of several second-harmonic beams.     

A simple method for fabricating two- and three-dimensional photorefractive photonic lattices microstructures

We demonstrate an approach for easy fabrication of two- and three-dimensional optically induced nonlinear photonic lattices microstructures in photorefractive crystal by applying spatial filter and amplitude mask. The experimental setup of this method is very simple and flexible without complicated optical adjustment system. It can be applied in almost any optical laboratories. Two-dimensional hexagonal, square and three-dimensional hexagonal nonlinear photonic lattices microstructures have been produced in an iron-doped lithium niobate photorefractive crystal. The period of the induced photonic lattices microstructures can be dominated easily. This method is easily extended to generate more complex photonic lattices microstructures in photorefractive crystals, such as quasicrystal lattice.     

Magnetic-field-induced changes in the photorefractive sensitivity of lithium niobate

The effect of a magnetic field on the average photorefractive sensitivity of an undoped LiNbO₃ crystal is studied by phase-mismatched second-harmonic generation. The experimental data obtained show the photorefractive sensitivity to reverse sign as the external magnetic field exceeds B ₁=?0.38±0.04 T. The magnetic field is oriented perpendicular to the crystal optical axis and to the plane of laser radiation polarization. The variation of the photorefractive sensitivity is associated with paramagnetic iron centers, whose photoionization probability depends on the direction of their magnetic moment relative to the optical axis.

Demonstration of all-optical beam steering in modulated photonic lattices

We demonstrate experimentally all-optical beam steering in modulated photonic lattices induced optically by three-beam interference in a biased photorefractive crystal. We identify and characterize the key physical parameters governing the beam steering and show that the spatial resolution can be enhanced by the additional effect of nonlinear beam self-localization.     

Modified phase matching conditions for second harmonic generation in a finite one-dimensional photonic crystal near the bragg condition: Weak and strong diffraction

Enhanced noncollinear second harmonic generation in a finite one-dimensional photonic crystal is analyzed theoretically under conditions of pump field localization near the Bragg reflection. It is shown numerically that phase-matched second-harmonic generation can be implemented in a finite one-dimensional photonic crystal that does not satisfy the conventional phase-matching conditions calculated for effective Bloch modes with narrow spectral lines. The intensity of the generated second-harmonic signal exceeds the second-harmonic intensity attained under the conventional phase-matching conditions by more than an order of magnitude. This phenomenon is explained by interference between Bloch modes having similar amplitudes, wavenumbers, and spectral widths. Since the spatial spectra of waves propagating in a bounded medium have finite widths, the broadened spectral lines of proximate effective Bloch modes resulting from Bragg diffraction of waves tuned to the first transmission resonances near the photonic bandgap edge overlap, merging into a spectral profile with center shifted relative to the original effective Bloch wavevectors. This effect leads to modified phase matching conditions for second harmonic generation in a finite photonic crystal, which are written for the centers of the spectral profiles resulting from modal overlap, rather than for individual effective wavevectors. Substantially different phase matching conditions are obtained for weakly and strongly diffracted beams, whereas conventional phase matching conditions hold only for transmitted signals in the case of weak diffraction.     

Efficient high-order harmonic generation in a two-color laser field

We report efficient high-order harmonic generation achieved using a two-color laser field. By inserting a second-harmonic generation crystal in the path of a converging laser pulse, the overall efficiency for high-harmonic generation was enhanced by more than an order of magnitude. In addition, even-order harmonics were also generated. The 2(2n+1)th -order harmonics were very strong and, in particular, the 38th harmonic (21.6 nm), obtained with a single laser shot of 2 mJ, saturated the X-ray charge-coupled device (CCD) of an extreme-ultraviolet spectrometer even with an Al filter of 1.5 m thickness installed in front of the CCD.

Nonreciprocal frequency doubling of electromagnetic waves through double resonance and Bragg reflection in photonic crystals

A computational study of the uni-directional second-harmonic generation in a one-dimensional dual photonic crystal structure made of GaAs, AlAs and SiO₂ with quadratic optical nonlinearity and material dispersion is presented. The computational approach uses a shooting method to solve nonlinear wave equations for coupled fundamental and second-harmonic fields and the invariant imbedding method to obtain the linear transmittance and group index spectra. The dual structure consists of two substructures, the conversion structure creating a strongly enhanced second-harmonic signal and the filter structure blocking the fundamental frequency field by Bragg reflection while permitting the passage of the second-harmonic field. The conversion structure is built with an elementary cell consisting of four sublayers whose thicknesses are systematically varied. Doubly resonant second-harmonic generation with very high conversion efficiency is achieved for light incident from the conversion structure side by choosing the geometrical parameters of the elementary cell optimally and controlling the band structure. A new mechanism to enhance second-harmonic generation by controlling the energy flow between the fundamental frequency and second-harmonic fields has also been found.
