Transverse modulational instability of counterpropagating quasi-phase-matched beams in a quadratically nonlinear medium.
We find the threshold and the generation angle for transverse instability of quasi-phase-matched counter-propagating fundamental and second-harmonic beams in a bulk c((2)) medium. Numerical estimates indicate that the instability should be observable with currently available materials.
متن کاملModulational instability in periodic quadratic nonlinear materials.
We investigate the modulational instability of plane waves in quadratic nonlinear materials with linear and nonlinear quasi-phase-matching gratings. Exact Floquet calculations, confirmed by numerical simulations, show that the periodicity can drastically alter the gain spectrum but never completely removes the instability. The low-frequency part of the gain spectrum is accurately predicted by a...
متن کاملLateral patterning of nonlinear frequency conversion with transversely varying quasi-phase-matching gratings.
We demonstrate control of the nonlinear conversion across a beam profile by using periodically poled lithium niobate with a laterally nonuniform quasi-phase-matching grating. As a representative experiment, generation of a flat-top second-harmonic beam is demonstrated.
متن کاملTheory of modulational instability in Bragg gratings with quadratic nonlinearity.
Modulational instability in optical Bragg gratings with a quadratic nonlinearity is studied. The electric field in such structures consists of forward and backward propagating components at the fundamental frequency and its second harmonic. Analytic continuous wave (CW) solutions are obtained, and the intricate complexity of their stability, due to the large number of equations and number of fr...
متن کاملPhase-matching spectral phase measurement and domain period reconstruction of aperiodic quasi-phase matched gratings by nonlinear spectral interferometry.
We experimentally measured the phase-matching spectral phases of aperiodic quasi-phase matched gratings for the first time (to the best of our knowledge) by nonlinear spectral interferometry. The retrieved information is useful in determining the temporal shape of the nonlinearly converted ultrafast signal and reconstructing the slowly-varying domain period distribution. The method is nondestru...
