    Portable ultrafast blue light sources designed with frequency doubling in KTP and KNbO32004In: IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics, ISSN 1077-260X, E-ISSN 1558-4542, Vol. 10, no 6, p. 1268-1276Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We demonstrate an effective means of achieving compact, truly portable, and entirely self-contained ultrafast blue light sources. Using a variety of nonlinear media to achieve simple second-harmonic generation of a femtosecond Cr:LiSAF laser, we investigate the relative merits of aperiodically poled bulk and waveguide nonlinear crystals in comparison to periodically poled structures. Such a compact and convenient source of ultrashort laser pulses in the blue spectral region could be of great interest for on-site applications spanning a host of disciplines, such as biomedical imaging, optical micromanipulation, and high-resolution spectroscopy.

    Anordning i form av koherent ljuskälla baserad på frekvenskonvertering av ljuset från lasrar: [Controllable laser light source uses two laser sources to enable frequency mixing such that three or four new wavelengths may be generated]1990Patent (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
    Abstract [en]

    The present invention concerns a coherent light source based on frequency conversion of the radiation from two lasers (20, 21) by frequency mixing in optical waveguides (10; 90), which are provided in a substrate (1). The wavelengths for the two lasers (20, 21) should be such, that the phase matching condition for the optically nonlinear frequency conversion is fulfilled in the waveguide structure (10; 90). The frequency conversion is accomplished in the form of frequency mixing, frequency doubling or down conversion in frequency by parametric oscillation so that in total three or four new wavelengths can be generated. By using integrated optics technique the output radiation can be controlled in various ways, for example be switched to different output waveguides, varied in intensity or colour balance.

    Abstract [en]

    A waveguide (and a method for fabrication of a waveguide) for electromagnetic waves, arranged in an optically non-linear crystal substrate (1), such as LiNbO3, LiTaO3 or KTiOPO4, whereby a periodically domain-inverted structure, with periodically reversed ferroelectric polarity, is provided in a channel waveguide (6), having a higher refractive index than other parts of the substrate. The regions of reversed ferroelectric polarity are achieved by means of a heat treatment yielding a domain-inversion governed by a periodic perturbation in the crystal surface, obtained by use of a periodic mask structure on the crystal surface. The periodic structure is arranged in such a way that it constitutes a quasi-phase-matching structure. Thereby the waveguide is capable of converting light or radiation of a certain wavelength (certain wavelengths) to light or radiation of another predetermined wavelength (other predetermined wavelengths) with high efficiency.

    Novel Coercive Field Engineering Method for Short Period KTiOPO42023In: 2023 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe and European Quantum Electronics Conference, CLEO/Europe-EQEC 2023, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) , 2023Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The development of reliable periodic poling methods that allow for sub-µm quasi-phase matched (QPM) gratings and, at the same time, allow for waveguide implementation, is of paramount importance for a large number of applications. For instance, backward-wave optical parametric oscillators [1] are only viable if the QPM period is on the same order of magnitude as the wavelengths of the interacting waves. Furthermore, the integration of such QPM devices in a waveguide format would unveil countless possibilities in quantum optics employing the crystal as an ultrabright bi-photon source with unique spectral characteristics.

    Single-mode near-infrared optical parametric oscillator amplifier based on periodically poled KTiOPO42001In: Applied Optics, ISSN 1559-128X, E-ISSN 2155-3165, Vol. 40, no 36, p. 6659-6662Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A singly resonant, single-axial-mode, optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on periodically poled KTiOPO4 (PPKTP) is reported. Signal (1.68 mum) and idler (2.90 mum) optical bandwidths have been narrowed to < 400 MHz by use of a diffraction grating at grazing incidence. The OPO generates 370 muJ of signal radiation when pumped by 3.1 mJ of 1.064-mum radiation. We implemented a single-pass PPKTP amplifier to yield 2.15-mJ signal and 1.17-mJ idler radiation without broadening the spectral bandwidths.

    Stretching-tunable external-cavity laser locked by an elastic silicone grating2006In: Optics Express, E-ISSN 1094-4087, Vol. 14, no 25, p. 11982-11986Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We demonstrate wavelength locking of a diode laser at 760 nm with feedback from an elastic transmission grating in the Littrow configuration. The laser was in a single longitudinal mode with a side-mode suppression of 20 dB. By stretching the grating the laser could be tuned over a few nm. The grating was fabricated in a silicone elastomer ( polydimethylsiloxane) by a moulding technique, and coated by a thin layer of Ti and Au to achieve an increased diffraction efficiency needed for efficient locking.

    Segmented waveguides having selected Bragg reflection characteristics1991Patent (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
    Abstract [en]

    Segmented waveguides for wavelength conversion (e.g., waveguides comprising alternating sections of crystalline substrate having the formula K1-x Rbx TiOMO4 where x is from 0 to 1 and M is P or As and sections of substrate material in which cations of said substrate have been partially replaced) and devices and processes employing segmented waveguides for wavelength conversion are disclosed wherein a periodic structure along the waveguide provides a Bragg reflection having a wavelength essentially equal to the wavelength of the input wave used for wavelength conversion. Also disclosed is a process for preparing a channel waveguide for a wavelength conversion system wherein areas along a portion of a crystal substrate surface used for forming the desired channel are alternately masked and unmasked during cation replacement by immersion in a molten salt.

    Nonlinear optical properties of (H+,He+)-implanted planar waveguides in z-cut lithium niobate: annealing effect2001In: Journal of the Optical Society of America. B, Optical physics, ISSN 0740-3224, E-ISSN 1520-8540, Vol. 18, no 12, p. 1832-1840Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Reflection second-harmonic generation from the polished waveguide end face was used to investigate the nonlinear properties of LiNbO3-implanted waveguides fabricated by use of 2-MeV He+ and 1.5-Mev H+ beams. Results were compared with waveguides obtained by protonic exchange in benzoic acid, In contrast to the exchanged sample where the nonlinearity is strongly reduced, the implanted samples showed that the guiding region presents rather the same response as the substrate. The area where the optical barrier is located showed a strongly enhanced second-harmonic signal that was likely to be due to structural modifications in this area. Moreover, the investigation of the annealing effect showed strong interaction of protons with the lattice compared with that of He+ ions.

    Intra-cavity dark pulse generation through synchronized sum-frequency mixing2022In: Optics Letters, ISSN 0146-9592, E-ISSN 1539-4794, Vol. 47, no 5, p. 1105-1108Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A Nd:YVO4 laser operating at 1064 nm generating a stable mode-locked train of 10 ps-long dark pulses with a 211 MHz repetition rate is presented. The mode-locking relies on a periodic loss modulation produced by intra-cavity sum-frequency mixing with a synchronous bright-pulse train from a mode-locked femtosecond Yb:KYW laser at 1040 nm. A modulation depth of 9050 was achieved for the dark pulses, confirmed by cross-correlation measurements. The ultrafast loss modulation injects power into the Nd:YVO4 laser cavity modes beyond the laser gain bandwidth. At proper laser cavity length, the detuning interaction of these modes with the lasing modes leads to the generation of periodic ultra-fast transients at frequencies above 1.5 THz.

Results show strong conversion efficiency which imply that the local damage-induced index modification does not adversely affect the periodic domain structure in the material.

    Since the early 1990's, a substantial effort has been devoted to the development of quasi-phased-matched (QPM) nonlinear devices, not only in ferroelectric oxides like LiNbO3, LiTaO3 and KTiOPO4 (KTP), but also in semiconductors as GaAs, and GaP. The technology to implement QPM structures in ferroelectric oxides has by now matured enough to satisfy the most basic frequency-conversion schemes without substantial modification of the poling procedures. Here, we present a qualitative leap in periodic poling techniques that allows us to demonstrate devices and frequency conversion schemes that were deemed unfeasible just a few years ago. Thanks to our short-pulse poling and coercive-field engineering techniques, we are able to demonstrate large aperture (5 mm) periodically poled Rb-doped KTP devices with a highly-uniform conversion efficiency over the whole aperture. These devices allow parametric conversion with energies larger than 60 mJ. Moreover, by employing our coercive-field engineering technique we fabricate highlyefficient sub-μm periodically poled devices, with periodicities as short as 500 nm, uniform over 1 mm-Thick crystals, which allow us to realize mirrorless optical parametric oscillators with counter-propagating signal and idler waves. These novel devices present unique spectral and tuning properties, superior to those of conventional OPOs. Furthermore, our techniques are compatible with KTA, a KTP isomorph with extended transparency in the mid-IR range. We demonstrate that our highly-efficient PPKTA is superior both for mid-IR and for green light generation-as a result of improved transmission properties in the visible range. Our KTP-isomorph poling techniques leading to highly-efficient QPM devices will be presented. Their optical performance and attractive damage thresholds will be discussed.

    Polarization switching characteristics of flux grown KTiOPO4 and RbTiOPO4 at room temperature2005In: Journal of Applied Physics, ISSN 0021-8979, E-ISSN 1089-7550, Vol. 97, no 12, p. 124105-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A study of polarization-switching characteristics under an applied electrical field at room temperature is presented for flux-grown KTiOPO4 and RbTiOPO4. By optimizing the experimental conditions, we determined the coercive field and the domain-switching time quantitatively by direct observation of the switching current. For both isomorphs, the inverse of the polarization-switching time, 1/t(s), follows an exponential dependence on the applied field E in low-field regime, and a linear dependence on E in the high-field regime. Domain morphology of KTiOPO4 based on selective etching reveals laminar structures elongated in the b crystallographic direction. An estimation of the domain-wall velocity shows that the domain speed in the polar direction is, at least, two orders of magnitude larger than in the a-b plane. The velocity along the b direction is similar to 30 times larger than along the a axis.

    The inverse piezoelectric effect is used to produce high-resolution images of ferroelectric domains in periodically poled KTiOPO4 crystals on their nonpolar y-face using atomic force microscopy.

    Periodic poling of KTiOPO4: From micrometer to sub-micrometer domain gratings2006In: Ferroelectrics (Print), ISSN 0015-0193, E-ISSN 1563-5112, Vol. 340, no 1, p. 27-47Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Some novel techniques to do periodic poling of KTP are described. Emphasis on ways to avoid domain broadening and merging of domains is presented with reference to the original properties of flux grown KTP. For sub-Am structures E-beam lithography and deep UV-laser lithography were used to pattern the samples, and chemical process to promote selective poling to obtain high quality domain gratings in up to 1 mm thick samples.

    In situ visualization of domain kinetics in flux grown KTiOPO4 by digital holography2007In: Applied Physics Letters, ISSN 0003-6951, E-ISSN 1077-3118, Vol. 102, no 6, p. 064105-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The fast dynamic evolution of ferroelectric domains during electric field poling in flux grown KTiOPO4 crystals was investigated online by a digital holography based technique. The dependence of the ferroelectric domain kinetics on the electric field temporal wave form and poling history was studied. High-speed imaging by means of a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor image sensor camera allowed in situ measurement of the domain wall propagation speed under different poling conditions. The results also give evidence of the strong influence of the dielectric surface layer in this material.
