1 Temperature Tuning Characteristics of Periodically Poled Lithium Niobate for Second Harmonic Generation at 490 nm Movva Sai Krishna *a, U.S. Tripathi a, Ashok Kaul a, K. Thyagarajan b, M.R. Shenoy b a Photonics Division, Instruments Research & Development Establishment, Dehradun, INDIA b Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi, INDIA ABSTRACT Blue light at 490 nm was generated by second harmonic generation in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) using the quasi phase matching (QPM) scheme. A fiber coupled high power laser diode operating at 980 nm wavelength was used as a pump source. Experiments were carried out to find the temperature tuning curve and the phase matching temperature for the PPLN sample. These results were then compared with theoretical simulations, which show good agreement. Keywords: Nonlinear optics, second harmonic generation, temperature tuning, quasi phase matching 1. INTRODUCTION Blue lasers are attractive light sources for display applications because of their high brightness and complete colour saturation. Blue lasers also find applications in optical data storage, optical recording, for DNA sequencing in biotechnology, submarine communications, in warfare as dazzlers and reprographics 1. We have generated blue light at 490 nm by nonlinear interactions in periodically poled lithium niobate by using a high power fiber-coupled laser diode (C-LD) at 980 nm as the pump source. In this paper, we present the temperature tuning characteristics of PPLN for second harmonic generation (SHG) at 490 nm taking into account the source spectrum. Initially, we outline the principle of quasi phase matching (QPM) followed by basic theory involved in SHG. We then discuss the experimental setup for generating blue light at 490 nm and find the temperature tuning characteristics of the PPLN sample. inally, using theoretical simulation, we explain the nature of the temperature tuning curve obtained experimentally. 2. QUASI PHASE MATCHING TECHNIQUE OR SECOND HARMONIC GENERATION Mature nonlinear optical materials are limited, and development cycle for newer ones is expensive and time consuming. QPM is an important technique for extending the useful wavelength range of available nonlinear optical materials. It has been used quite frequently in the development of new coherent laser sources. QPM is an alternative phase matching technique to the birefringent phase matching (BPM) technique, in which the accumulated phase mismatch is reset periodically as the interacting waves travel through the crystal. QPM is usually implemented by a periodic modulation of the nonlinear susceptibility. In lithium niobate, QPM is achieved by periodically reversing the polarity of ferroelectric domain when the phase mismatch between the pump and the second harmonic wave reaches π, and the material prepared in this way is referred to as PPLN. PPLN has advantages over standard lithium niobate due to absence of walkoff and it is less susceptible to photorefractive effects. An additional advantage of PPLN is its design flexibility afforded by QPM. The ability to engineer the domain-periodicity for nonlinear frequency conversion in the whole transparency range ( µm) of lithium niobate makes PPLN a versatile and important material 2. Planar processing methods from the microelectronics industry, in particular, lithography followed by E-field poling can be used to produce PPLN in large numbers 3. Since this is chip-based processing, the production costs are low. Engineering more complex behavior, such as broadband phase matching and fanned gratings, involves nothing other than designing a more sophisticated lithographic mask. In the case of frequency doubling or SHG, the phase matching condition is given by 4 π ( nsh n) k = ksh 2k = (1) λ *movvask@irde.res.in; phone ; fax

2 where k SH and k are the magnitudes of the wave vectors; n SH and n are the refractive indices at the second harmonic (SH) and fundamental waves, respectively, and k is the phase mismatch term. In BPM, both the waves travel with the same phase velocity when n SH = n and this makes?k zero. The electric field of the second harmonic wave then grows linearly along the propagation direction and the second harmonic power quadratically. If the phase matching condition is not satisfied i.e.?k? 0, then the propagating SH wave, after a characteristic distance of L c, will become out of phase with the locally generated SH field and energy starts to couple back from the SH to the fundamental wave. This is a periodic process with half-period L c, called the coherence length, and is defined as π Lc = (2) ( ksh 2 k) In QPM, the grating period Λ, which is used to compensate for the phase slip, has a length corresponding to an accumulated phase difference, between the fundamental and the SH wave, that is a multiple of 2π and is given as 2mπ mλ Λ= = (3) k 2( n n ) where m is the order of the periodic modulation. A first order grating (m=1) is one where the locally generated SH is out of phase by π with respect to the propagating SH wave after the half-period. or QPM, the phase matching condition becomes 4 π ( nsh n) 2π k = ksh 2k K = (4) λ Λ SH igure 1: Phase Matching Curves: BPM, QPM and Non-Phase Matched Case igure 1 shows the calculated efficiencies of SHG for three cases of phase matching in Lithium Niobate: BPM corresponds to perfect phase matching, leading to the highest efficiency; QPM represents quasi phase matching with first order grating (m=1), and the last curve is that of a non-phase matched case (Note: The last curve has been multiplied by a factor of 15 to make it visible on the same scale).

3 Efficiency of SHG can be calculated using the equation given below 1 : π deffl ( I1) 2 kl I = sin c λ nn ε c where I 2 is the intensity of the second harmonic generated, I 1 is the intensity of the pump beam, d eff is the effective nonlinear coefficient for LiNbO3, k is the phase mismatch term, L is the length of the LiNbO3 sample, λ is the wavelength of the pump beam, n 1 and n 2 are the refractive indices of the LiNbO3 sample at the pump and the second harmonic wavelengths, respectively; ε 0 is the dielectric permittivity of free space and c is the velocity of light in free space. rom the above, the efficiency of SHG is given as η SHG = (I 2 /I 1 ). We have used the above equation for plotting the curves in ig.1 and the same equation will be used later in the paper to explain the nature of temperature tuning curve using theoretical calculations. (5) 3. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP The experimental set up used for obtaining SHG at 490 nm in PPLN using a C-LD is shown in ig. 2. As shown in the figure light emanating from a fiber-coupled laser diode (Thales Optronics, rance) is first collimated using a microscope objective and the parallel beam is then focussed using a suitable lens into the PPLN sample. The PPLN chip, with a periodicity of 5 µm and designed for generating SHG (@ 490 nm), was housed in a small micro-oven with a temperature controller having an accuracy of ± 0.1 C. The pump beam, which was focussed into the sample, interacts with the PPLN and generates blue output at 490 nm, which is measured by a detector. Here we have used a colour filter that allowed blue light to pass through while blocking the pump beam from reaching the detector. Micro-Oven MO Lens 980 nm C-LD PPLN Chip Temperature Controller Blue light detector with filter igure 2: Experimental setup for obtaining blue light at 490 nm from 980 nm C-LD With the above setup, temperature tuning was carried out on the PPLN sample by varying the temperature of the micro oven from C in steps of 1 C, initially, but as the blue light power being detected increased and the temperature was approaching phase matching temperature the step size was reduced to 0.1 C. All the above measurements were made at fixed input pump power of C-LD. Maximum blue light was generated when the temperature was at 113 C, which is the phase matching temperature obtained experimentally for our PPLN chip. 4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The normalized temperature tuning results are shown in ig.3. It can be seen that the measured temperature tuning curve has a broadband profile (shown as full dot s in ig. 3).

4 igure 3: Variation of normalized efficiency with temperature of the PPLN chip. The solid line corresponds to the experimental curve and the circles correspond to theoretical simulation of the temperature tuning curve The phase matching temperature for this PPLN sample (with a periodicity of 5 µm) was calculated theoretically using the temperature dependent Sellemier equations 4 and was found to be C, which is in close agreement with the experimentally obtained value of 113 C. However, the broadband nature of the tuning curve was unexpected in view the analytical result for the efficiency of second harmonic generation (cf. Eq.5), which indicates that the efficiency curve should be a sharply peaked curve centered at the phase matching temperature (sinc 2 function). On further investigation on the spectral purity of the pump source, it was found that the C -LD was having a finite spectral linewidth of around 3.76 nm. It was also found that the peak wavelength was at nm at that particular pump power (see ig.4). We can attribute the broadband nature of the measured temperature dependence of SHG to the finite spectral width of the pump beam. To ascertain the above, we simulated theoretical curves using an asymmetric Gaussian profile for the power spectrum of the input pump beam from the C-LD. The left side of the Gaussian profile was assumed to have a width of 2 nm from the peak wavelength, and on the right side of the profile, the width was taken as 1.76 nm from the peak wavelengt h (see ig.4). We used Eq. (5) for calculating the normalized efficiency of second harmonic generation at 490 nm; while performing the efficiency calculations, we have incorporated the asymmetric Gaussian distribution of the pump power as described above. Both the theoretical and experimental efficiency curves are shown in ig.3 (after normalization) for comparison of the results. It can be seen that the theoretical and the experimental results are in excellent agreement. Thus, we conclude that the broadband nature of the temperature tuning curve is because of the finite spectral width of the pump source.

5 igure 4: Wavelength spectrum of the C-LD pump source 5. CONCLUSION Blue light at 490 nm was generated in PPLN using a high power C -LD at 980nm as the pump source. Phase matching temperature, and temperature tuning curve were obtained experimentally. The broadband profile of the measured temperature tuning curve was explained using theoretical simulation by taking into account the finite spectral width of the C -LD source. urther experiments on blue light generation using PPLN are in progress.
