WC3.1 - ZINCBLENDE NONLINEAR CRYSTALS FOR QUANTUM INFORMATION APPLICATIONS
Abstract
Abstract
Quasi-phasematching of non-birefringent zincblende crystals, including GaAs and GaP, has enabled demonstration of various nonlinear mixing processes. The lack of birefringence also allows efficient mixing of different polarization states, which is useful in quantum information applications including quantum frequency conversion and entangled photon pair generation.
WC3.2 - PUMP WAVELENGTH-TUNED FEMTOSECOND OPTICAL PARAMETRIC OSCILLATOR ACROSS 3.6–8 ΜM BASED ON ORIENTATION PATTERNED GALLIUM PHOSPHIDE
Abstract
Abstract
We report a femtosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on orientation-patterned gallium phosphide (OP-GaP), with continuous tunability across 3.6–8 μm. Up to 54 mW of output average power at 80 MHz is produced and peak powers of 3 kW in the mid-IR are inferred.
WC3.3 - GREEN-PUMPED OPTICAL PARAMETRIC OSCILLATOR BASED ON FANOUT-GRATING PERIODICALLY-POLED MG-DOPED CONGRUENT LITAO_3
Abstract
Abstract
We report the first realization of an optical parametric oscillator based on PPMCLT pumped in green, widely tunable across 677-1025 nm in the signal and 1134-2479 nm in the idler with more than 130 mW of output power in high beam quality.
WC3.4 - ATTOSECOND CURRENT AUTOCORRELATIONS DRIVEN BY SINGLE-CYCLE LASER PULSES
Abstract
Abstract
We perform interferometric autocorrelations of the ultrafast current produced at the nanogap of a single plasmonic nanocircuit by near-infrared single-cycle pulses. This highly nonlinear process depends fully on the precise temporal field profile of the optical driving pulse.
