Three ranges of wavelength, including visible output from 628 nm to 639 nm, near-infrared output from 797 nm to 816 nm, and mid-infrared output from 3167 nm to 3459 nm,were obtained from the monolithic PPLN, which consists of a 10-mm section for 532-nm-pumped optical parametric generation（OPG） and a 7-mm section for 1064-nm-pumped sum frequency generation（SFG）. A pump-to-signal conversion efficiency of 23.4% for OPG at 50°C and a quantum efficiency of 26.2% for SFG at 200°C were obtained.展开更多

We started with the temperature-dependent refractive index equation for the waveguide. Secondly, the temperature dependency of the second harmonic generation effect was experimentally researched under different temperatures and pump powers. The quasi-phase matched wavelengths, efficiency bandwidths and peak efficiencies of the waveguide were measured. The experimental results agreed with theoretical simulations, which are indispensable in the following all-optical sampling studies based on the cascaded second harmonic generation/difference-frequency generation process in the current device.展开更多

In electrode area, both electrochromism and do- main-inversion occur alternately, and electrochromism is also reversible during back-switch poling, which is experi- mentally verified and whose mechanism is briefly explained using a microstructure ferroelectric model. In addition, be- cause of the enhancing elcctrochromic effect, different from the undoped LiNbO3 crystals, the coercive filed (21.0 kV/mm or so) measured in LiNbO3: Ru: Fe is lower than its break- down field, thus providing a possible new technique for real- izing the domain-inversion by constant electric field rather than a pulsed one.展开更多
