Channel-selective wavelength conversion and tuning in periodically poled Ti : LiNbO3 waveguides

Abstract

All-optical wavelength-selective single- and dual-channel wavelength conversion and tuning has been demonstrated in a periodically poled Ti:LiNbO3 waveguide that has two second-harmonic phase-matching peaks by cascaded sum and difference frequency generation (cSFG/DFG). The wavelength conversion efficiency was measured to be -7 dB with coupled pump power of 233 mW. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.
