Title: Cavity-enhanced optical parametric generation in a modal-phase-matched lithium niobate microring
We report cavity-enhanced second-harmonic generation and difference-frequency generation in a high-Q lithium niobate microring resonator with modal phase matching. The second-harmonic generation efficiency is measured to be 1,500% W􀀀1.  more » « less

    We present a single-shot detection method of terahertz correlated second harmonic generation in plasma-based sources by directly mixing an optical probe into femtosecond laser-induced plasma filaments in air. The single-shot second harmonic trace is obtained by measuring a second harmonic generation on a conventional CCD with a spatiotemporally distorted probe beam. The system shows a spectrometer resolution of 22 fs/pixel on the CCD and a true resolution on the order of the probe pulse duration. With considerable THz peak electric field strength, this formalism can open the door to single-shot THz detection without bandwidth limitations.

    We use 2.4-micron laser pulses to produce second-harmonic generation via random quasi-phase-matching in ZnS. Using a frequency-resolved optical gating system, we reconstruct the complex temporal profile of the second-harmonic pulses.

    Abstract The phase matching between the propagating fundamental and nonlinearly generated waves plays an important role in the efficiency of the nonlinear frequency conversion in macroscopic crystals. However, in nanoscale samples, such as nanoplasmonic structures, the phase-matching condition is often ignored due to the sub-wavelength nature of the materials. Here, we first show that the phase matching of the lattice plasmon modes at the fundamental and second-harmonic frequencies in a plasmonic nanoantenna array can effectively enhance the surface-enhanced second-harmonic generation. Additionally, a significant enhancement of the second-harmonic generation is demonstrated using stationary band-edge lattice plasmon modes with zero phase.

    We illustrate that a Hermitian nonlinear optical system consisting of hybridized parametric amplification and second harmonic generation mimics non-Hermitian evolution dynamics. Oscillation damping, evolution to a static steady state, and exceptional points arise from the use of second harmonic generation as an irreversible loss mechanism. The investigated system can be used to solve problems of inefficiency in parametric amplifier systems used widely in laser science and industrial applications. More generally, these findings suggest a new paradigm for the engineering of system dynamics where energy recovery and system sustainability are of importance.

    We report frequency comb generation in the mid-IR beyond 4 μm in a dispersion-engineered periodically poled lithium niobate nano-waveguide through simultaneous second-harmonic generation, quadratic spectral broadening, and intra-pulse difference-frequency generation.
