Enhanced second-harmonic generation by means of high-power confinement in a photovoltaic soliton-induced waveguide

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present the first experimental demonstration of enhanced second-harmonic generation (SHG) by means of power confinement with a femtosecond laser in a photovoltaic soliton-induced waveguide. A dark spatial soliton created with a weak cw laser beam in a photovoltaic lithium niobate crystal induces an efficient waveguide for SHG, leading to a 60% enhancement of the conversion efficiency.
