{"title":"Counter-propagating mixing second harmonic generation in poled polymer waveguides","authors":"A. Otomo, G. Stegeman, M. C. Flipse, M. Diemeer, W. Horsthuis, G. R. Möhlmann","doi":"10.1364/sslma.1997.tha3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1364/sslma.1997.tha3","url":null,"abstract":"Until recently, second harmonic generation (SHG) was used to extend the wavelength capability of high power lasers. In the conventional SHG process the fundamental and the growing second harmonic propagate together (Fig. 1a). The most recent progress has allowed mW of doubled power to be generated with 100’s of mW of input fundamental power. This has been achieved with waveguides from dielectric media such as LiNbO3, KTiOPO4 (KTP), etc.1,2 Organic materials have attracted attention due to their possible large nonlinearity. Although there has been some excellent pioneering work using organic materials, organic waveguide doublers have not yet achieved such efficiencies.3,4 One of the problems has been the disadvantageous trade-offs between λmax, the magnitude of the nonlinearity and the absorption of the doubled light. A different SHG interaction geometry, in which the second harmonic radiates upwards from a waveguide surface by mixing the counter-propagating fundamental guided waves (Fig. 1b), was reported 16 years ago, primarily for using second order interactions for signal manipulation and processing.5,6 The early works concentrated on ion-exchanged LiNbO3 waveguides with quite small conversion efficiencies. More recently AlGaAs multi layer waveguides have been used as a form of quasi-phase matching (QPM) in the transverse direction with much larger nonlinear cross-section coefficients. A number of interesting applications have been demonstrated including convolution, a spectrometer, etc. This interaction has different trade-offs from the usual copropagating case. The signal at the harmonic frequency only traverses the waveguide depth so that the attenuation coefficient can be as large as 104 cm-1 and hence the interaction length is limited primarily by attenuation at the fundamental wavelength. As a result the harmonic wavelength can in principle be near λmax, the peak absorption wavelength, and hence utilize a resonantly enhanced nonlinearity. The fractional power conversion into SHG for the co-propagating and the counter-propagating schemes is proportional to \u0000[deff(2)L]2I and \u0000[deff(2)L]2LHI respectively. I is the intensity and \u0000deff(2) , L and H are the effective second order nonlinearity, the effective interaction length and the waveguide depth respectively. In terms of efficient SHG, the key question is whether the resonant enhancement in \u0000[deff(2)]2 is larger or comparable to L/H. This represents the trade-off between co-propagating and counter-propagating SHG. If indeed the trade-offs are comparable, this counter-propagating approach could be attractive because there are no wavevector matching constraints as there are in co-propagating SHG. Such constraints have made it difficult to obtain phase-matching over a centimeter, require precise wavelength tuning and control of the input laser, and tight temperature control of the waveguide. Thus the large nonlinearity of poled polymers can be effectively utilized for SHG in the counter-propa","PeriodicalId":348889,"journal":{"name":"Solid State Lasers: Materials and Applications","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128060693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nitrobenzene is an organic OKE material, however, it is not convenient to handle because of its liquid form and its toxicity. Other inorganic crystals such as tantalum potassium niobate and barium titanate are good candidates to replace nitrobenzene, but they have the problem of high price. On the other hand, optical bistability with low input power and slow temporal response in organic polymer waveguide was observed by us recently from push-pull aromatic azobenzene materials1 and optical bistabilities realized in a planar quasi waveguide and a hybrid waveguide made with a polydiacetylene film have also been reported in literature2. Meanwhile, much efforts have continuously been devoted to the search for such better organic materials in thin film form: metallo phthalocyanine is one among them. However, to our knowledge, study of ultrafast optical bistability in organic polymer waveguides has not yet been reported before us. In this paper, we are going to report our recent progresses on the study of the ultrafast optical switch properties of a novel vanadium phthalocyanine, the picosecond response OKE and OB observed from its Langmuir-Blodegett film or from a planar optical waveguide. In addition, the relationship between the chemical structure and the property of ultrafast responses will also be discussed.","PeriodicalId":348889,"journal":{"name":"Solid State Lasers: Materials and Applications","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127210276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent interests have been focused on the design and development of polymeric material systems (active and passive) with large E-O coefficients and high thermal, temporal, chemical and phtochemical stability3-8. The E-O response of a active polymer commonly arises from the electric field induced alignment of its second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophore, either doped as a guest/host system or covalently bonded as a side-chain. Because of the strong interaction among the electric dipoles, the poled structure is in a meta-stable state; the poled NLO chromophores which possess large dipole moment will tend to relax back to the randomly oriented state. As a result, the stability of the poled structure strongly depends on the rigidity of the overall material system. This paper provides a brief review of the latest developments of highly efficient and thermally stable chromophores and polymers for device applications.","PeriodicalId":348889,"journal":{"name":"Solid State Lasers: Materials and Applications","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125401333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
