The nonlinear light-matter-light interaction allows one to generate light at any wavelength within the transmission band of a nonlinear crystal. It is known that the efficiency of the harmonic generation process strongly depends on the phase mismatch between interacting waves and, in order to observe harmonic generation, some technique has to be implemented. The spatially periodic modulation of the sign of nonlinearity is one of the solutions to this phase mismatch problem. Such structures, called nonlinear photonic crystals, are nowadays widely realized. Proper design of the nonlinearity modulation gives one a great control over the properties of a newly generated harmonic. The purpose of this thesis is the theoretical analysis of possible phase matching schemes and the experimental investigation of nonlinear scattering processes. The nonlinear structures under consideration in this work are periodic and strongly disordered 1D nonlinear gratings; 2D random nonlinear photonic crystals; and a single boundary between two regions of different nonlinearity. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to aspects of frequency conversion relevant to the topic of this thesis. Basic terms used in quadratic parametric processes are defined. The fundamental theory of harmonic generation in nonlinear crystals is presented. Phase matching techniques in homogeneous and periodic structures are reviewed followed by an introduction to nonlinear diffraction mechanisms in one and two dimensional nonlinear gratings. Chapter 2 contains a theoretical study of parametric wave interaction in nonlinear optical media with a randomized distribution of quadratic nonlinearity. In particular, it shows how the transition from an ideal periodic structure to a fully random structure affects properties of the second and cascaded third harmonic generation. Analytical formulas describing properties of such harmonics in the presence of nonlinearity disorder are derived. In chapter 3 we study theoretically and numerically the second harmonic generation in a two dimensional nonlinear crystal with a random distribution of ferroelectric domains. We numerically generate a disordered structure composed of semi-circular ferroelectric domains of random size and random position. Aside from presenting numerical simulations, we show that the strict model presented in chapter 2 can be successfully applied to 2D random structures. We show that the specific features of disordered domain structures greatly affect the emission pattern of the generated harmonics. In chapter 4 and chapter 5 we study, experimentally and theoretically, the Cerenkov-type second-harmonic generation in a one-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystal. We demonstrate that the power of emitted second-harmonic can be enhanced by varying the angle of incidence of the fundamental beam such that the reciprocal lattice vectors of the crystal can be used to compensate for the phase mismatch in the transverse direction. We also experimentally investigate the Cerenkov second harmonic tuning response to a wavelength and the position of the incident beam. We reveal that, in contrast to the classic second harmonic generation whose tuning response is determined by the superlattice itself, the sensitivity of the Cerenkov harmonic intensity depends strongly on the width of the incident beam.

Download or read book Handbook of Nonlinear Optical Crystals written by Valentin G. Dmitriev and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the invention of the first laser 30 years ago, the frequency conversion of laser radiation in nonlinear optical crystals has become an important technique widely used in quantum electronics and laser physics for solving various scientific and engineering problems. The fundamental physics of three-wave light interactions in nonlinear optical crystals is now largely understood. This has enabled the production of the various harmonic generators, sum and difference frequency generators, and parametric oscillators based on nonlinear crystals that are now commercially available. At the same time, scientists continue an active search for novel high-efficiency optical materials. Therefore, in our opinion, there is a great need for a handbook of nonlinear optical crystals, intended for specialists and practitioners with an engineering background. This book contains a complete description of the properties and applications of all nonlinear crystals reported in the literature up to the beginning of 1990. In addition, it contains the most important equations for calculating the main parameters (such as phase-matching direction, effective non-linearity, and conversion efficiency) of nonlinear frequency converters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, superconducting circuits have become a promising architecture for quantum computing and quantum simulation. This advancing technology offers excellent scalability, long coherence times, and large photon nonlinearities, making it a versatile platform for studying non-equilibrium condensed matter physics with light. This thesis covers a series of experiments and theoretical developments aimed at probing strongly correlated states of interacting photons. Building upon previous efforts on nonlinear superconducting lattices, this work focuses on establishing new platforms for generating interactions between microwave photons in multi-mode circuits.The first experiment presents a new paradigm in exploiting the nonlinearity of a Josephson junction to tailor the Hilbert space of harmonic oscillators using a dynamical three-wave mixing process. This allows a single microwave resonator to be addressed as a two-level system, offering a promising pathway to long-lived qubits. A theoretical proposal is outlined for building a field-programmable quantum simulator, harnessing this dynamical nonlinearity for stimulating strong photon-photon interactions. The system consists of a lattice of harmonic modes in synthetic dimensions, where particle hopping and on-site interactions can be independently controlled via frequency-selective flux modulation. Numerical studies show that for strong interactions the driven-dissipative steady-state develops a crystalline phase for photons.The second experiment explores the physics of quantum impurities, where a single well-controlled qubit is coupled to the many modes of a photonic crystal waveguide. The light-matter coupling strength is pushed into the ultrastrong coupling regime, where the qubit is simultaneously hybridized with many modes and the total number of excitations is not conserved. Probing transport through the waveguide reveals that the propagation of a single photon becomes a many-body problem as multi-photon bound states participate in the scattering dynamics. Furthermore, the effective photon interactions induced by just this single impurity leads to interesting inelastic emission of photons. Probing correlations in the field emission reveals signatures of multi-mode entanglement.This work presents opportunities for exploring large-scale lattices with strongly interacting photons. These platforms are compatible with well-established techniques for generating artificial magnetic fields and stabilizing many-body states through reservoir engineering, complementing growing efforts in the quest for building synthetic quantum materials with light.

Download or read book Single Photons in Nonlinear Photonic Crystals and Studies on Electromagnetic Knots written by William T. M. Irvine and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We explore the possibility of generating and manipulating single photon states through all-optical chi(2) nonlinear interactions in photonic crystals. In particular two schemes are presented: one for the generation of entangled-photon pairs by parametric down-conversion in one-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystals (Bragg stacks), and one for the observation of strong coupling between single photons in semiconductor micro-cavities. Both schemes aim to combine the exceptionally high value of the chi(2) nonlinearity of GaAs, with the recently-developed technology for the fabrication of nanometer-scale structures that geometrically influence the properties of light. In a second, unrelated, part of the thesis we describe some solutions to Maxwell's equations that have interesting topological properties. This is part of a more speculative project aimed at creating the solutions in the lab.
