Efficient frequency doubling of 1.5µm femtosecond laser pulses in quasi-phase-matched optical fibres

Efficient frequency doubling of 1.5µm femtosecond laser pulses in quasi-phase-matched optical fibres
Efficient frequency doubling of 1.5µm femtosecond laser pulses in quasi-phase-matched optical fibres
Second-order nonlinear gratings in optical fibres have been produced for efficient quasi-phase-matched frequency conversion around 1.5µm. Periodic poling was achieved by defining a patterned electrode on a D-shape fibre via standard lithography and applying high voltage (4-5 kV) at elevated temperature (270-280°C). This fabrication technique has allowed to produce gratings uniform over 7.5cm, as indicated by the shape and the bandwidth of the phase-matching curve. By frequency doubling ~100 fs pulses in a grating ~4cm long and with a period of 57.15µm, ~1.05mW average power at 768nm has been generated, with an average conversion efficiency ~1.2%.

Abstract

Second-order nonlinear gratings in optical fibres have been produced for efficient quasi-phase-matched frequency conversion around 1.5µm. Periodic poling was achieved by defining a patterned electrode on a D-shape fibre via standard lithography and applying high voltage (4-5 kV) at elevated temperature (270-280°C). This fabrication technique has allowed to produce gratings uniform over 7.5cm, as indicated by the shape and the bandwidth of the phase-matching curve. By frequency doubling ~100 fs pulses in a grating ~4cm long and with a period of 57.15µm, ~1.05mW average power at 768nm has been generated, with an average conversion efficiency ~1.2%.
