Competing collinear and noncollinear interactions in chirped quasi-phase-matched optical parametric amplifiers
Chirped quasi-phase-matched optical parametric amplifiers (chirped QPM OPAs) are investigated experimentally. The measured collinear gain is constant over a broad bandwidth, which makes these devices attractive candidates for use in femtosecond amplifier systems. The experiment also shows that chirped QPM OPAs support noncollinear gain-guided modes. These modes can dominate the desired collinea...
متن کاملEfficiency and phase of optical parametric amplification in chirped quasi-phase-matched gratings.
Three-wave nonlinear interactions in chirped quasi-phase-matched (QPM) gratings are shown to exhibit conversion efficiency approaching 100% with increasing input pump and signal intensities, evading backconversion, as long as the idler vanishes at the input and the QPM grating is sufficiently chirped. The signal phase is described in terms of Kerr-like self- and cross-phase modulations, in the ...
متن کاملof quasi - phase - matched parametric amplification in periodically - poled optical nonlinear crystals
To the theory of quasi-phase-matched parametric amplification in periodically-poled optical nonlinear crystals Abstract Theory of the optical parametric amplification at high-frequency pumping in crystals with a regular space modulation of the sign of nonlinear coupling coefficient of interacting waves is developed. By applying the matrix method, the theory is based on a step-by-step approach. ...
متن کاملUltrabroadband biphotons generated via chirped quasi-phase-matched optical parametric down-conversion.
We generate ultrabroadband biphotons via the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in quasi-phase-matched nonlinear gratings that have a linearly chirped wave vector. By using these ultrabroadband biphotons (300-nm bandwidth), we measure the narrowest Hong-Ou-Mandel dip to date, having a full width at half maximum of 7.1 fs. This enables the generation of a high flux of nonov...
متن کاملQuasi-phase-matched 1.064-microm-pumped optical parametric oscillator in bulk periodically poled LiNbO(3).
We report a quasi-phase-matched optical parametric oscillator, using bulk periodically poled LiNbO(3). The optical parametric oscillator, pumped by a 1.064-microm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, was temperature tuned over the wavelength range 1.66-2.95 microm. The oscillation threshold of approximately 0.1 mJ was more than a factor of 10 below the damage limit. The LiNbO(3) crystal, fabricated by appl...
