Nonlinear phase shift without cascaded second-order processes and third order nonlinearity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The new mechanism for obtaining a nonlinear phase shift has been proposed and the schemes are described for its implementation. As it is shown, the interference of two waves with intensity-dependent amplitude ratio coming from the second harmonic generation should produce the nonlinear phase shift. The sign and amount of nonlinear distortion of a beam wavefront is dependent of the relative phase of the waves that is introduced by the phase element. Calculated value of neff 2 exceeds that connected with cascaded quadratic nonlinearity, at the same conditions. PACS Number: 42.65.-k

All-optical switching based on nondegenerate phase shifts from a cascaded second-order nonlinearity.
All-optical switching by using a nondegenerate cascaded second-order nonlinearity is described wherein a phase shift is induced at one frequency owing to the presence of intense light at a different frequency. A Mach-Zehnder waveguide device is proposed to take advantage of this process and has applications for all-optical switching and demultiplexing, potentially at power levels near 10 W by u...
متن کاملDirectional coupling for solitary waves in quadratic nonlinearity
The propagation of temporal solitary waves, formed in the second-order nonlinear medium, is analysed in waveguide directional couplers. The influence of the thirdorder nonlinearity on the switching effect is also presented. Recently, the great effort of nonlinear guided-wave phenomena research is focused on the cascaded second-order process which can produce relatively large intensity-dependent...
متن کاملFrequency-Resolved Optical Gating Using Cascaded Second-Order Nonlinearities
We demonstrate frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) using cascaded second-order nonlinearities (up-conversion followed by down-conversion). We describe two different cascaded second-order beam geometries—selfdiffraction and polarization-gate—which are identical to their third-order nonlinear-optical cousins, except that they use second-harmonic-generation crystals instead of (weaker) thirdo...
متن کاملThe Third Order Nonlinear Optical behavior of Poly Ether Urethane
Poly (ether) urethane close/open cell (PEUCC/PEUOC) has been prepared by using in situ polymerization approach. The third-order optical nonlinearities of dissolved samples in DMF were characterized by Z-scan technique at the measurement wavelength of 532 nm. The synthesized samples were also examined by optical microscopy and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The nonlinear refractive (NLR) indice...
متن کاملModification of solitary waves by third-harmonic generation.
The effect of phase-matched third-harmonic generation on the structure and stability of spatial solitary waves is investigated. A power threshold for the existence of two-frequency spatial solitons is found, and the multistability of solitary waves in a Kerr medium owing to a higher-order nonlinear phase shift caused by cascaded third-order processes is revealed.
