摘要
以基于准位相匹配和频与差频级联二阶非线性[χ(2)∶χ(2)]基础上的全光开关的理论分析作指导,进行了周期极化铌酸锂晶体(PPLN)和退火质子交换光波导(APE)的实验制备,利用所研制的PPLN-APE器件,以自行研制的工作波长为1.54 μm的被动调Q掺钴铝酸镁激光器作为控制光源,以工作波长为1.5 μm的连续二极管激光器为信号光源进行了级联二阶非线性全光开关实验。当控制光峰值功率为3 kW,信号光功率为1 mW时,实现13%的开关效率,分析了进一步提高全光开关性能的途径。
Abstract
Based on the theoretical analysis of cascading of sum frequency-generation and difference-frequency-generation processes [χ(2)∶χ(2)] under quasi-phase-matching conditions, periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) and annealed-proton-exchanged waveguide (APE) were fabricated. Using the fabricated crystal of PPLN-APE, an all-optical switching experiment is carried out. The control pulse is generated by a Q-switched Co2+-doped MgAl2O4 laser with a wavelength of 1.54 μm. The CW signal beam is generated by a laser diode with wavelength of 1.5 μm. When the control pulse intensity reached 3 kW and the CW signal intensity reached 1 mW, the all-optical switching realized a switching efficiency of 13%. In the conclusion, the key technologies to improve the switching properties further is discussed.
