Abstract

We theoretically and numerically investigate the quadratic cascading effect of third-harmonic (TH) generation in a locally quasi-periodic nonlinear photonic structure. We study the effect of structure parameters on the acceptance bandwidth and conversion efficiency of the cascading process. We demonstrate that the conversion efficiency of the cascading process can be enhanced by using a longer locally quasi-periodic nonlinear photonic crystal, without adversely affecting the acceptance bandwidth of the emitted radiation.

Figures (4)
Fig. 1
Fig. 1 The concept of the locally quasi-periodic quadratic structure for broadband second harmonic and cascading third harmonic generation. The locally quasi-periodic structure is constructed by repeating a set of quasi-periodic segments (consisting blocks A and B that are arranged into a quasi-periodic sequence) and separating them with an extended domain of random length. The insets below depict schematically the SHG and THG in the structure.

Fig. 2
Fig. 2 Dependence of normalized harmonic intensity on the incident fundamental wavelengths for SHG process (a) and SFG process (b), respectively, in the locally quasi-periodic nonlinear photonic structure with the same number M = 40 of building blocks in each quasi-periodic segment. The spectrum plots of harmonic waves (solid lines) in the figures are sampled at different lengths of the crystal where L = nxh, with nx = 217, 218, 219, which agreeing well with the spectrum lines (dotted lines) calculated from Eqs. (9) and (12), respectively. The intensities have been calculated by averaging over 512 realizations of nonlinear photonic structures.

Fig. 3
Fig. 3 Normalized SH intensity (a) and TH intensity (b) as a function of the incident fundamental wavelengths in the locally quasi-periodic domain structures with different values of number M = 30, 40, 50 in each segment, but with the same crystal length L. The corresponding acceptance bandwidth (FWHM) is 56nm, 42nm and 33nm for the second harmonic and 14nm, 10nm and 8nm for the third harmonic, respectively. The intensities have been obtained by averaging over 512 realizations of nonlinear photonic structures.

Fig. 4 Dependence of SH intensity (a) and TH intensity (b) on the interaction distance in the locally quasi-periodic nonlinear photonic structures with number M = 40 in each segment for different incident fundamental wavelengths λ = 1.496μm, 1.50μm, and 1.504μm. The analytical results derived from Eqs. (13) and (14) are plotted as dotted lines in (a) and (b), respectively, which show a good agreement with the corresponding numerical simulation. The results have been calculated by averaging over 512 realizations of nonlinear photonic structures.
