Generation of optical vortex beams by nonlinear wave mixing.
It is shown that optical vortex beams can be generated from a non-vortex fundamental beam by an optical frequency conversion process taking place within a twisted nonlinear photonic crystal. This is done without any first-order (linear) refractive optics. Through such a proposed structure, all-optical switching of vortices with different helicities is made possible, as well as the simultaneous ...
متن کاملTHz-Wave Generation from GaP THz Photonic Crystal Waveguides under Difference-Frequency Mixing
GaP terahertz (THz) two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PC) waveguides with line defects were fabricated using inductively-coupled plasma reactive-ion etching (ICP-RIE) in Ar/Cl2 gas chemistries. THz-wave generation from the fabricated PC waveguides was demonstrated under collinear phase-matched difference-frequency generation (DFG), using Cr:Forsterite (Cr:F) lasers as the incident source. ...
متن کاملGeneration of multiterawatt vortex laser beams.
We report the fabrication of large-area phase masks on thin fused-silica substrates that are suitable for shaping multiterawatt femtosecond laser beams. We apply these phase masks for the generation of intense femtosecond optical vortices. We further quantify distortions of the vortex beam patterns that result from several common types of mask defects.
متن کاملTuning extension of a Difference-Frequency generation up to 100 nm using V-shaped external-cavity for the pump laser
In this research, tunability of a commercial diode laser has extended to about more than ± 11 nm using a V-shaped external-cavity fabricated around the laser. Although under normal condition it can be tuned up to about ± 4 nm just by changing its temperature and injection current. Such modified diode laser has then used in a difference-frequency generation (DFG) experimental setup as pump sourc...
