Second-order nonlinear optical properties of poled coumaromethacrylate copolymers

Second-order nonlinear optical properties of newly designed and synthesized coumaromethacrylate side-chain polymers are reported. The optimum poling conditions were determined experimentally. The optimum poling temperature for these side-chain polymers is well above the glass transition temperature. The second harmonic coefficient of films poled by coronaonset at elevated temperature and the linear electro-optic coefficient of films poled by contact electrodes were measured. The stabilized value of the second harmonic coefficient, d ₃₃, at 1064nm fundamental wavelength was found to be 13 pm/V. The linear electro-optic coefficient, r ₃₃, exhibits strong dispersion ranging from 2 to 12pm/V in the wavelength range 477 to 1115 nm.

A 20 degrees electro-optic phase shift is achieved at an operating wavelength of 1.55 microm with an applied voltage of 400 V and an interaction length of 25.6 mm, which correspond to an estimated effective electro-optic coefficient of 0.17 pm/V for the TE-polarized mode.     

High-frequency response and acoustic phonon contribution of the linear electro-optic effect in DAST

We present a simple method to measure the contribution from acoustic phonons to the linear electro-optic effect. A step voltage with a short rise time (600 ps) is applied to the sample, and the electro-optic response is measured in the time domain. For the organic salt 4-N, N-dimethylamino-4(?)-N(?)-methyl-stilbazolium tosylate (DAST), we obtained a negative contribution of r(a)(111) = -1.0 +/- 0.1 pm/V to the overall electro-optic coefficient of r(111) = 48 +/- 5 pm/V (lambda = 1535 nm). The electro-optic response was limited only by the rise time of the applied voltage, which corresponds to a frequency of 1 GHz.

Performance of MPPC at low temperature

The performance of a MultiPixel Photon Counter (MPPC) from room to liquid nitrogen temperatures were studied. The gain, the noise rate and bias voltage of the MPPC as a function of temperature were obtained. The experimental results show that the MPPC can work at low temperatures. At nearly liquid nitrogen temperatures, the gain of the MPPC drops obviously to 35% and the bias voltage drops about 9 V compared with that at room temperature. The thermal noise rate from 10⁶ Hz/mm at room temperature drops abruptly to 0 Hz/mm at -100 ℃. The optimized operation point can be acquired by the experiment.

The half-wave voltage of the poled fiber is 135 V, and the effective second-order nonlinear coefficient χ2 is 1.23 pm/V.
