The focus of study has been directed towards exploring the potential of nonlinear optical difference frequency generation for emission in the THz spectrum. Leveraging Sellmeier's dispersion formula, an in-depth analysis of refractive index behavior was conducted. The analysis revealed the conditions for phase matching within the range of 0.5–12 THz for 1064 nm laser wavelength at room temperature. The maximum walk-off angle was verified 0.5°, suitable for co-linear wave interactions. The Manley–Row equations were applied, showcasing energy conversion efficiency in the order of <span>({10}^{-3})</span> in an ideal lossless medium and <span>({10}^{-5})</span> when accounting for losses. The quasi-phase matching (QPM) technique was utilized to enhance the quality of analysis and establishing an optimal periodicity wavelength. This adjustment facilitated tuning within the range 54–68 THz for 1064 nm by manipulating the temperature. The saturated conversion efficiency was around 13%, while with the effects of losses considered, the efficiency dropped to values ranging from 3 to 7%, with a peak value around 9%.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":474,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics B","volume":"131 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00340-025-08484-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144135468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, material heating effects can induce inhomogeneity, significantly altering the lattice’s shape and behavior. Motivated by this, we introduce a novel approach by constructing both discrete and continuum models for a zig–zag lattice with space-dependent hopping between two-nearest-neighbor interactions. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the impact of inhomogeneity on photon transport characteristics. To achieve this, we derive exact solutions for the inhomogeneous continuum model using the extended unified method. Our findings reveal key insights, including a significant enhancement in photon transport within lattices featuring variable hopping. Furthermore, we explore the influence of this property on nonlinear optical wave structures, uncovering various topological solitons such as clustered zig–zag solitons near the origin, dark solitons, and spiky tree-like structures with leaf-like features. Additionally, we examine modulated wave-amplitude gain, providing a deeper understanding of and control over nonlinear optical wave behavior.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":474,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics B","volume":"131 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143938642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
