Evolution of the Intensity Profile of Cerenkov Second-Harmonic Radiation with Propagation Distance in Planar Waveguides
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using coupled mode theory, we have studied the output intensity profile of Cerenkov second-harmonic radiation from planar waveguides as a function of the propagation distance. In particular, we have obtained the variation of the intensity profile taking into account the effect of prism coupling as well as propagation loss, and have shown that the second-harmonic radiation evolves into a beam-like output. Results of the measured intensity profile of the second-harmonic radiation in protonexchanged planar waveguides in Z-cut LiNbO3 are also presented that are consistent with the theory.

Anomalous Dispersion Phase-matched Second Harmonic Generation in Polymer Waveguides: Chromophores for Increased Efficiency and Uv Stability
We report here on a series of tricyanovinylaniline chromophores for use as dopants in poled poly(methyl methacrylate)waveguides for anomalous dispersion phase-matched second harmonic generation. Second harmonic generation measurements as a function of mode index confirmed anomalous dispersion phase-matching efficiencies as large as 245%/Wcm over a propagation length of about 35 μm. The waveguid...
متن کاملSecond-harmonic generation in planar waveguides of doped silica.
Second-harmonic generation was produced in germanium-doped silica planar waveguides prepared by simulfaneous illumination with 1064- and 532-nm laser light. During preparation using prism coupling to specific waveguiding modes, the film-generated second-harmonic intensity grew as a function of preparation time until it saturated. The growth rate and saturation level for p-polarized second-harmo...
