Wavelength selective single and dual-channel dropping in a periodically poled Ti : LiNbO3 waveguide

Abstract

All-optical wavelength selective single and dual channel dropping by sum frequency generation has been demonstrated in a periodically poled Ti:LiNbO3 waveguide, which has two second harmonic phase-matching peaks. Less than -17 dB of channel dropping extinction ratio was observed with coupled pump power of 325 mW. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.
