Grating-enhanced second-harmonic generation in polymer waveguides: role of losses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A numerical study of second-harmonic (SH) generation in a corrugated polymer waveguide is performed with a rigorous electromagnetic theory. Comparison with experiment reveals the role of losses inside the waveguide-small losses do not significantly affect the nonresonant response and reduce the resonant enhancement of SH generation. High losses can lead to the opposite effect-instead of enhancement, dips in the SH efficiency are observed in the vicinity of guided-wave excitation. The peculiarities of the angular dependencies of SH generation are explained from the phenomenological point of view, and the role of phase matching is discussed.

Second Harmonic Generation from Organic Optical Waveguides on Diffraction Gratings
We present experimental results of second harmonic generation using a waveguide of PUSC deposited on a silver diffraction grating. The reflected second harmonic signal is enhanced at the angles of resonant excitation of the guided modes or of the surface plasmon. At these angles, we observe unexpected minima in the second harmonic signal, when the second harmonic frequency is situated within th...

In this paper, we perform a detailed study of the spectral response of the gold U-shaped nano-structures for different geometrical parameters and polarizations in order to obtain significant localization factor in the wavelength 1.55 μm. The obtained near-field distribution of electric fields reveals that resonances in these nano-structures correspond to the even and odd plasmonic modes dependi...

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 کاملBroadband wavelength converters with flattop responses based on cascaded second-harmonic generation and difference frequency generation in Bessel-chirped gratings.
We investigate ultra-broadband wavelength converters based on cascaded second-harmonic generation and difference frequency generation using Bessel-chirped gratings (BCGs) in lithium niobate waveguides, and compare them to the ones using uniform grating and segmented grating, respectively. For the same length and power, the BCGs show broader bandwidth than the other two types of grating. The rip...
متن کاملGrating-assisted phase-matched second-harmonic generation from a polymer waveguide.
Diffraction gratings can be used to achieve phase matching between the fundamental modes of a slab or confined waveguide. Compared with the usual techniques such as quasi-, Cerenkov, and intermodal phase matching, the matching method used here involves spatial harmonics of the guided electromagnetic field that are generated by the corrugated grating. This grating acts simultaneously as a linear...
