Coupling-length phase matching for efficient third-harmonic generation based on parallel-coupled waveguides
Coupling-length phase matching for efficient third-harmonic generation based on parallel-coupled waveguides
We study third-harmonic generation (THG) in parallel-coupled waveguides where the spatial modulation of the mode intensity provides quasi-phase matching, called coupling-length phase matching (CLPM), for efficient nonlinear frequency conversion. Different types of CLPM are investigated for THG, and it is found that two sets of CLPM conditions can be practically implemented with traditional waveguides. These two CLPM conditions are further investigated by considering nonlinear phase modulations, which can degrade the CLPM-based THG conversion. However, up to 45% efficiency is still possible in this scheme. The greatest significance of this approach is that the requirement of perfect phase matching in a single waveguide is no longer necessary, leading to an alternative waveguide design for THG.

Abstract
We study third-harmonic generation (THG) in parallel-coupled waveguides where the spatial modulation of the mode intensity provides quasi-phase matching, called coupling-length phase matching (CLPM), for efficient nonlinear frequency conversion. Different types of CLPM are investigated for THG, and it is found that two sets of CLPM conditions can be practically implemented with traditional waveguides. These two CLPM conditions are further investigated by considering nonlinear phase modulations, which can degrade the CLPM-based THG conversion. However, up to 45% efficiency is still possible in this scheme. The greatest significance of this approach is that the requirement of perfect phase matching in a single waveguide is no longer necessary, leading to an alternative waveguide design for THG.
