Nonlinear Optics || Wave-Equation Description of Nonlinear Optical Interactions
摘要： We have seen in the last chapter how nonlinearity in the response of a material system to an intense laser field can cause the polarization of the medium to develop new frequency components not present in the incident radiation field. These new frequency components of the nonlinear polarization act as sources of new frequency components of the electromagnetic field. In the present chapter, we examine how Maxwell’s equations describe the generation of these new components, and more generally we see how the various frequency components of the field become coupled by the nonlinear interaction.

Nonlinear Optics || Nonlinear Optics in the Two-Level Approximation
摘要： Our treatment of nonlinear optics in the previous chapters has for the most part made use of power series expansions to relate the response of a material system to the strength of the applied optical field. In simple cases, this relation can be taken to be of the form ?P (t) = (cid:2)0χ (1) ?E(t) + (cid:2)0χ (2) ?E(t)2 + (cid:2)0χ (3) ?E(t)3 + · · · . However, there are circumstances under which such a power series expansion does not converge, and under such circumstances different methods must be employed to describe nonlinear optical effects. One example is that of a saturable absorber, where the absorption coefficient α is related to the intensity I = 2n(cid:2)0c|E|2 of the applied optical field by the relation α = α0 / (1 + I /Is), where α0 is the weak-field absorption coefficient and Is is an optical constant called the saturation intensity. We can expand this equation in a power series to obtain α = α0 [1 ? (I /Is) + (I /Is)2 ? (I /Is)3 + · · · ]. However, this series converges only for I < Is, and thus only in this limit can saturable absorption be described by means of a power series of the sort given by Eq. (6.1.1).

Nonlinear Optics || Ultrafast and Intense-Field Nonlinear Optics
摘要： There is currently great interest in the physics of ultrashort laser pulses. Recent advances have led to the generation of laser pulses with durations of the order of 1 attosecond (Hentschel et al., 2001). Ultrashort pulses can be used to probe the properties of matter on extremely short time scales. Within the context of nonlinear optics, ultrashort laser pulses are of interest for at least two separate reasons. The ?rst reason is that the nature of nonlinear optical interactions is often profoundly modi?ed through the use of ultrashort laser pulses, in part because of the broad spectral bandwidth necessarily associated with such pulses. The next two sections of this chapter treat various aspects of the resulting modi?cations of the nature of nonlinear optical interactions. The second reason is that ultrashort laser pulses tend to possess extremely high peak intensities (because laser pulse energies tend to be established by the energy-storage capabilities of laser gain media), and thus short laser pulses tend to have much higher peak powers than longer pulses. The second half of this chapter is devoted to a survey of the sorts of nonlinear optical processes that can be excited by extremely intense laser ?elds.

Nonlinear Optics || Nonlinear Optics of Plasmonic Systems
摘要： In the present chapter we explore the optical properties of plasmonic systems. The word plasmonics is often associated with the properties of metals. The reason for this association is that both the electrical and optical properties of metals are intimately related to the large number of nearly free electrons present in the conduction band of a metal. In this chapter we will primarily be concerned with the optical properties of metals, although the fundamental results that we obtain equally well describe the optical properties of other types of plasmas. The properties of nearly free electrons have been described earlier in this book, for instance as a limiting case of the Lorentz model described in Section 1.4 and also in terms of relativistic effects of plasmas as described in Section 13.7. The present chapter seeks to describe the properties of plasmonic systems in a cohesive manner. Part of the reason for interest in plasmonic systems is that they display very strong light-matter coupling, and this strong coupling leads to both linear and nonlinear properties that can be qualitatively different from those of nonplasmonic systems. This coupling leads for example to a propagating wave, known as a surface plasmon polariton (SPP), which is a mixed excitation of both electron and electromagnetic ?eld oscillations. Plasmonic systems also tend to display large nonlinear optical effects, both because metals often possess a large value ofχ (3) and because for the case of composite systems electric ?elds tend to become enhanced in regions near a metallic particle. More detailed accounts of the the role of plasmonics in nonlinear optics can be found in the accounts of Kauranen and Zayats (2012), Maier (2007), and Novotny and Hecht (2006a).

Color Routing via Cross-Polarized Detuned Plasmonic Nanoantennas in Large Area Metasurfaces
摘要： Bidirectional nanoantennas are of key relevance for advanced functionalities to be implemented at the nanoscale, and in particular for color routing in an ultracompact flat-optics configuration. Here we demonstrate a novel approach avoiding complex collective geometries and/or restrictive morphological parameters, based on cross-polarized detuned plasmonic nanoantennas in a uniaxial (quasi-1D) bimetallic configuration. The nanofabrication of such a flat-optics system is controlled over a large-area (cm2) by a novel self-organized technique exploiting ion-induced nanoscale wrinkling instability on glass templates to engineer tilted bimetallic nanostrip dimers. These nanoantennas feature broadband color routing with superior light scattering directivity figures, which are well described by numerical simulations and turn out to be competitive with the response of lithographic nanoantennas. These results demonstrate that our large-area self-organized metasurfaces can be implemented in real world applications of flat optics color routing from telecom photonics to optical nanosensing.

Large Angle Optical Access in a Sub-Kelvin Cryostat
摘要： The development of lens-antenna-coupled aluminum-based microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) and on-chip spectrometers needs a dedicated cryogenic setup to measure the beam patterns of the lens-antenna system over a large angular throughput and broad frequency range. This requires a careful design since the MKID has to be cooled to temperatures below 300 mK to operate effectively. We developed such a cryostat with a large opening angle θ = ± 37.8? and an optical access with a low-pass edge at 950 GHz. The system is based upon a commercial pulse tube cooled 3 K system with a 4He–3He sorption cooler to allow base temperatures below 300 mK. A careful study of the spectral and geometric throughput was performed to minimize thermal loading on the cold stage, allowing a base temperature of 265 mK. Radio-transparent multi-layer-insulation was employed as a recent development in ?lter technology to ef?ciently block near-infrared radiation.

Second harmonic generation at 544a??nm of a femtosecond laser
摘要： We study second harmonic generation (SHG) at 544 nm of the 0-type (e + e - e) quasi-phase-matching based on a femtosecond laser at 1088 nm. The green pulse with the spectrum width of 0.6 nm and the peak power of 17.7 kW is obtained at the pump power density of 2.81 GW/cm2 and the conversion e?ciency is 21 %. As the propagation distance along the PPMgLN crystal increases, the spectrum at 544 nm becomes narrower and narrower and the pulse duration broadens very seriously.

Integrated electro-optic modulators in x-cut lithium niobate thin film
摘要： Integrated optics is poised to revolutionize several data communication applications. The development of high performance electro-optic modulators is essential for the technology to be viable. In this paper, single-mode electro-optic modulators in x-cut lithium niobate thin film are designed, simulated, and analyzed. The single-mode conditions of lithium niobate ridge waveguides are analyzed in detail. The design parameters of Y-branch and separation distances between electrodes and ridge waveguides are optimized. The half-wave voltage of the electro-optic modulator with device lengths of 10 mm is determined. The half-wave voltage-length product is about 2.2 V·cm, indicating the efficient electric-optical modulation. This study is helpful for understand of electro-optic modulator structures in lithium niobate thin film, as well as for the fabrication of high-performance and multifunctional electro-optic modulation devices.

Chromophores with side isolate groups and applications in improving the poling efficiency of second non-linear optical (NLO) materials
摘要： In this paper, alkyl groups with different lengths are introduced to the two-dimensional spindle-type chromophores as the steric isolators to improve the poling efficiency and long term stability of the poled polymers for second-order nonlinear optical materials. The structure and thermal properties of alkyl functionalized chromophores are characterized by the 1H-NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis, DSC, TGA, et al. The chromophores with different alkyl groups present extremely similar maximum absorbance wavelength (480nm), which means they have very similar first-order hyperpolarizability. Guest-host polymer doped with chromophores has been prepared. Those materials display different glass transition temperatures and good thermal stability. According to the electro-optic coefficients studies and poling efficiency results, chromophores with longer alkyl side chain groups exhibit better poling efficiency and larger electro-optic coefficients. Especially for the chromophores with octyl group, the poling efficiency increases up to 3 times compared to the reference chromophore 2-(3-{2,5-Phenylmethanol-4-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]-styryl-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene)malononitrile (STC), while the corresponding electro-optic coefficient of the poled polymers increases up to 4 times, indicating a significant effect of the isolate groups on improving the poling efficiency.
