Abstract
Thermally poled silica fibres are an attractive all-fibre solution to frequency conversion of high power fibre lasers. In comparison to nonlinear crystals, they offer inherently lower insertion losses, higher optical damage threshold, greater stability and ruggedness intrinsic to all-fibre solutions. Moreover, the relatively low second-order-nonlinearity (0.1–0.2pm/V) can be compensated by extending the length of the periodically poled fibre.
