Photoinduced second harmonic generation (SHG) was observed in the glass when it was irradiated with intense 1.06 mum and frequency doubled laser beams from a mode-locked Nd: YAG laser. It was found that the signal intensity increased with the irradiating time and approached a saturation gradually. The effect may be explained reasonably by the DC field model.展开更多

After the laser treatment, the photo-induced changes of the samples were investigated by UV-1601 speetrophotometer and optical second-order nonlinear tester. The results show that the transmittance of the samples around 532 nm obviously decreases and Bragg reflector forms, which is due to the production of photon-generated carriers. With the increase of laser pulse energy or the extension of irradiation duration, the Bragg reflector increases and gradually tends to be stable. These can be ascribed to the excitation- capture process of the carriers. After irradiation, the relaxation phenomenon results from the release of part of the absorbed energy in the glass matrix. And the fitting equation of the relaxation process is consistent with a conventional Kohlrausch stretched exponential function. The origin of the second harmonic generation （SHG） is because of the dipole reorientation caused by the photo-induced anisotropy in the glass.展开更多

SHG conversion efficiency of -13.6dB and QPM bandwidth of 0.45nm were achieved using a 16.1dBm power of fundamental wave at 1550.4nm. Using pulsed all-fiber passive mode locked laser and tunable continuous wave laser, cSHG/DFG effect utilized for optical sampling was observed. Conversion efficiencies were calculated, and 11.88nm-wide QPM bandwidth was achieved through changing the wavelength of input signal. Conversion efficiency of cSHG/DFG effect increased linearly with the total injected power.展开更多

A broad sampling bandwidth can be obtained by adjusting chirp coefficient and waveguide length of CPPLN, and sampling efficiency can be improved by using higher pump power, increasing waveguide length and choosing appropriate chirp coefficient. Results show that both sampling bandwidth and efficiency in CPPLN waveguides are controllable and that CPPLN waveguides are more suitable for multiwavelength optical sampling systems.展开更多

Multilayer waveguides containing a silicon oxynitride layer were used as charge trapper in this investigation on the effect of the internal field inside the waveguide. Compared to waveguides without the trapping layer, experimental results showed that the induced linear electro-optic (EO) coefficient increases about 20% after poling, suggesting strongly that the internal field is relatively enhanced, and showed it is a promising means for improving nonlinearity by poling in waveguides.展开更多

The amorphous nature of all the compositions of the as-quenched glasses was confirmed by X-ray diffraction(XRD). The glassy thermal properties of the as-quenched glasses were established by differential thermal analyses(DTA). The glass structure was studied by RAMAN spectra and the second order nonlinearity was studied by the Maker Fringe method after the electron beam poling(EBP) and electric/temperature field poling(ETFP) respectively. Additions of various pnicogen atoms into the Ge-Ga-S glasses lead to the difference in the second order nonlinearity of the glass. It's found that glasses with different structures result in different SHG intensities, and even more, a large second order nonlinear susceptibility X(2) of about 9 pm/V was obtained for all the glasses and the reasons for such a large susceptibility were analyzed.展开更多
