Abstract

Nonlinearity of semiconductor nanowires makes them potential frequency converters in nanoscale optoelectronics. Here we demonstrate that sum frequency generation signals can be acquired from GaAs nanowires when excited by a femtosecond laser at 1048 nm and a tunable optical parametric oscillator ranging from 1416 nm to 1770 nm. The SFG intensity is insensitive to the polarization but quite sensitive to the temporal overlap of incident lasers pulses. It is shown that they can work for pulse-width measurement of femtosecond lasers in the near infrared band. Our results suggest GaAs NWs to be excellent optical nonlinear mixers in nanoscale optoelectronics.

Fig. 1

Setup diagram. The filter was used to remove all photons with wavelength below 1100 nm including SHG and SFG in the PPLN crystal by the pump laser and OPO output. Dichroic mirrors DM1 and DM2 reflect the wavelength above 1400 nm and 800 nm respectively. Two mirrors (box of dashed line) were used to tune the delay of the femtosecond laser at 1048 nm. Insert: side imaging of NWs by SEM.

The SFG signal is dependent on the polarization direction of incident lasers. The polarizations of the lasers were at first both horizontal. Then the polarization of 1048-nm laser was tuned by a half-wave plate while keeping polarization of OPO as constant. Dashed line: fitted curve of $\cos^{2} θ$ .

Cross correlation of the 1048-nm femtosecond laser with the OPO beam at 1440 nm. (a) SFG signals at different delays. (b) The intensity of the SFG versus the temporal overlap of the laser and OPO pulses. The FWHM of this overlap is 240 fs.
