Advanced Nonlinear Optical Materials Using Quasi-Phase Matching

Abstract

We have demonstrated that screening spatial solitons in both one and two dimensions are observable using 8 nanosecond, MW optical pulses. The behavior of these high intensity pulsed screening solitons differs significantly from the previously reported low intensity c.w. screening spatial solitons, but are accurately described by their existence curve. These results will now be combined with our recent results on fixing and quasi-phase matching to generate efficient parametric conversion materials.
