Third-harmonic generation via nonlinear Raman-Nath diffraction in nonlinear photonic crystal.
We report on the observation of multiple third-harmonic conical waves generated in an annular periodically poled nonlinear photonic crystal. We show that the conical beams are formed as a result of the cascading effect involving two parametric processes that satisfy either the transverse and/or longitudinal phase-patching conditions. This is the first experimental observation of third-harmonic ...
متن کاملGeneration of second-harmonic conical waves via nonlinear bragg diffraction.
We report on the observation of second-harmonic conical waves generated in a novel geometry of the transverse excitation of an annular periodically poled nonlinear photonic structure by a fundamental Gaussian beam. We show that the conical beams are formed as a result of the higher-order nonlinear Bragg diffraction involving two parametric processes in which an ordinary fundamental wave is conv...
متن کاملThird-harmonic generation microscopy with Bessel beams: a numerical study.
We study theoretically and numerically third-harmonic generation (THG) from model geometries (interfaces, slabs, periodic media) illuminated by Bessel beams produced by focusing an annular intensity profile. Bessel beams exhibit a phase and intensity distribution near focus different from Gaussian beams, resulting in distinct THG phase matching properties and coherent scattering directions. Exc...
متن کاملTheory of third-harmonic generation using Bessel beams, and self-phase-matching.
Taking Bessel beams ~J0 beam! as a representation of a conical beam, and a slowly varying envelope approximation ~SVEA! we obtain the results for the theory of third-harmonic generation from an atomic medium. We demonstrate how the phenomenon of self-phase-matching is contained in the transverse-phasematching integral of the theory. A method to calculate the transverse-phase-matching integral c...
متن کاملApplications of non-collinear second harmonic generation in one-dimensional periodically poled crystals
Whereas the commonly used collinear quasi-phase-matched interaction is usually suitable for phase matching only a single nonlinear process, non-collinear interactions offer rich variety of phase matching possibilities, employing different elements of the nonlinear tensor, and various orders of quasi phase matching. By studying the dependence of the second harmonic process on the angle and the p...
