چکیده
The feasibility and extraordinary properties of mirrorless optical parametric oscillations in a microscopic strongly absorbing slab of negative-index metamaterial are shown. They stem from the backwardness of electromagnetic waves inherent with this type of metamaterial.

Temporal properties of counter-propagating twin beams in a Mirrorless Optical Parametric Oscillator
Twin photon pairs generated through parametric downconversion (PDC) in a χ2 medium is one of the most widely used source of entanglement. We focus here on a nonconventional geometry in which one of the twin photons propagates in the opposite direction with respect to the pump beam exploiting quasi-phase-matching in a periodically poled crystal. Through predicted almost 50 years ago, this new PD...
متن کاملResonant nonlinear optics of backward waves in negative-index metamaterials
The extraordinary properties of resonant fourwave mixing of backward and ordinary electromagnetic waves in doped negative-index materials are investigated. The feasibility of independent engineering of the negative refractive index and the nonlinear optical response as well as quantum control of the nonlinear propagation process in such composites is shown due to the coherent energy transfer fr...
متن کاملBackward optical parametric efficiency in quasi-phase-matched GaN waveguide presenting stitching faults.
We model a backward mirrorless optical parametric oscillator in a fragmented GaN waveguide consisting of a sequence of submicronic periodically poled elements separated by uniformly polarized connection sections representing stitching errors. We find that the generated coherent phase of the backscattered wave locks the phases of the forward propagating waves in such a way that the dynamics is n...
متن کاملOptical parametric generation in periodically poled KTiOPO4 via extended phase matching
We report an experimental demonstration of optical parametric generation in a periodically poled KTiOPO4 crystal based on the principle of mirrorless optical parametric oscillation. A femtosecond pump pulse spectrally centered at 792 nm from a Ti:sapphire amplifier is prechirped to minimize Kerr effects. The pump pulse is then injected into the nonlinear crystal and down converted to signal and...
متن کاملModel for coherence transfer in a backward optical parametric oscillator
The mirrorless backward optical parametric oscillator (BOPO), where the signal and idler waves are propagating in opposite directions, will establish a distributed feedback mechanism and thus optical parametric oscillation without the need to apply mirrors or external feedback to the cavity. It has been recently demonstrated experimentally by exploiting the periodic poling technique in second-o...
