Title: Reconfigurable mode-selective frequency conversion in a three-mode fiber
We present a scheme for spatial-mode-selective frequency conversion in a few-mode fiber and experimentally demonstrate upconversion of arbitrary superpositions of two signal modes from C-band to the fundamental mode in S-band with conversion efficiencies within 1 dB range of one another.  more » « less

    We present a scheme for spatial-mode-selective frequency conversion in a few-mode fiber and experimentally demonstrate upconversion of either of two signal modes from C-band to fundamental mode in S-band with crosstalk below –15.5 dB.

    We describe OAM-compatible mode-selective frequency conversion in a few-mode fiber and experimentally demonstrate downconversion of various superpositions of signal modes LP11a and LP11b to the same LP11b mode with conversion efficiency differences <0.8 dB.

    We discuss wavelength conversion of a selected signal spatial mode, which preserves its quantum state and does not disturb other signal spatial modes. We present the results for a lithium niobate waveguide and a few-mode-fiber.

    Abstract Photoluminescence from spatially inhomogeneous plasmonic nanostructures exhibits fascinating wavelength-dependent nonlinear behaviors due to the intraband recombination of hot electrons excited into the conduction band of the metal. The properties of the excited carrier distribution and the role of localized plasmonic modes are subjects of debate. In this work, we use plasmonic gap-mode resonators with precise nanometer-scale confinement to show that the nonlinear photoluminescence behavior can become dominated by non-thermal contributions produced by the excited carrier population that strongly deviates from the Fermi-Dirac distribution due to the confinement-induced large-momentum free carrier absorption beyond the dipole approximation. These findings open new pathways for controllable light conversion using nonequilibrium electron states at the nanoscale.

    We discuss three emerging applications of wavelength conversion: 1) hybrid amplification outside of EDFA band, based on a combination of two wavelength converters and an EDFA, 2) spatial-mode-selective wavelength conversion, and 3) generation of spatial-mode-entangled photon pairs.
