Cascaded optical nonlinearities in organic structures

Abstract

The inability of finding advanced highly nonlinear materials processible in low loss waveguide structures has lead to a radical new approach to the nonlinear optical switching problem: cascaded second-order parametric processes. [1] A tremendous advance in inorganic materials and device engineering has rapidly led to the demonstration of device concepts such as nonlinear Mach-Zehnders in a hybrid or integrated waveguide form, nonlinear directional couplers, spatial solitons in planar waveguides, as well as all optical switching and solitary waves in bulk materials, all using cascaded second-order nonlinearities.
