10 Multiple-wavelength QPM nonlinear interactions Examples of multiple interactions using the 2 nd -order nonlinear coefficient, d(z): Dual wavelength SHG, ω 1 2ω 1, ω 2 2ω 2 Frequency tripling, ω 1 3ω 1 [ SHG: ω 1 2ω 1 + SFG: ω 1 + 2ω 1 3ω 1 ] All optical splitting and all-optical deflection Aperiodic modulation of the nonlinear coefficient is required in order to obtain high efficiency simultaneously for two different processes. Suggested solution: quasi-periodic modulation of the nonlinear coefficient. K. Fradkin-Kashi and A. Arie, IEEE J. Quantum Electron. 35, 1649 (1999). 10
11 Quasi-periodic structures (QPS) Quasi-periodic patterns found in nature, e.g. quasicrystals and studied by mathematicians (Fibonacci) and crystalographers. A quasi-periodic structure can support more than one spatial frequency. The Fourier transform of onedimensional QPS has peaks at spatial frequencies: 2πm 2πn - m,n integers. - Note: Two characteristic frequencies. k m, n = + a b D. Schetman et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 53, 195 (1984). 11
12 Quasi-crystals in nature Scanning electron micrographs of single grains of quasicrystals Typical diffraction diagram of a quasicrystal, exhibiting 5-fold or 10-fold rotational symmetry 12
13 Quasi-periodic structures (QPS) cont. Nonlinear optics: building blocks ferroelectric domains with different widths and reversed polarization. Order of blocks quasi-periodic series {z n }: - E.g. Fibonacci series: Fourier transform has peaks at spatial frequencies: 2π ( m + nτ ) k, n = ; D = τ L + S (average lattice parameter) τ m L + - m,n integers; τ irrational. - Note: Two characteristic frequencies.

17 2D Periodic Lattices 2D Real Lattice: A set of points at locations Where m,n are integers, and a 1, a 2 are (primitive) translation vectors. There are 5 Bravais lattices in 2D Examples: r = ma + n 1 a 2 Square lattice: Hexagonal lattice: a a 0 1 = a2, ϕ = = a2, ϕ = 120 2D Lattice + basis (atoms) => Crystal 2D Lattice + basis (nonlinear domain) => Nonlinear superlattice 17
18 The Five 2D Bravais Lattices a2 a1 Simple cubic a2 a1 Hexagonal a2 a1 Rectangular a2 a1 Centered cubic C. Kittel, Introduction to solid state physics 18
19 The Reciprocal Lattice Define primitive b 1, b 2, vectors of the Reciprocal Lattice such that i a j The Reciprocal Lattice points are given by b = 2πδ G = kb + l In crystals, the Reciprocal Lattice is identical to a scaled version of the diffraction pattern of the crystal. The nonlinear susceptibility can be written as a Fourier series in the Reciprocal Lattice: ( 2 ) χ ( r ) = kg exp( ig r ) G RL E.g., for hexagonal lattice of cylinders (with circle filling factor f), ij 1 b 2 (2) J G R) K G = 4 fχ 1 ( G R 19
20 Consider SHG example: The QPM condition is a vector condition: QPM in 2D Nonlinear Structure k 2 2k G = ω ω 0 Where G is a vector in the Reciprocal Lattice. May phase matching possibilities exist in 2D lattice. V. Berger, Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 4136 (1998). 20

26 Geometrical considerations Phase matching can occur at all directions. Different processes can be phase matched at different angles. k 2 w G n = n 2π / Period= k 2k w We can calculate the angle of the second harmonic using the law of cosines. cosθ = (2k w ) 2 + ( k 4k 2w w k ) 2 2w ( G n ) 2 26
27 QPM in 2D Quasi-Periodic Nonlinear Structures 2D quasi-periodic structures offer further extension to the possible phase matching processes. One can have several phase matching directions and along each direction to phase match several different processes. Main problem: How to design a nonlinear mixer that phasematches several interactions in a multitude of directions 27
28 Design using the Dual Grid Method Well known algorithm for the design of quasi-crystals [1]. Ensures minimum separation between lattice points. Step 1: defining the required spectral content k 5 k 4 k 1 Ron Lifshitz, TAU Socolar, Steinhardt and Levine, Quasicrystals with arbitrary orientational symmetry Phys. Rev. B. vol.32, (1985). k 3 k 2 28
29 Step 2: Creating a grid based on the vectors defined in Step 1 The grid is dual (transformable) to a lattice containing the spectral content defined by the vectors in step 1 2π k 1 29
30 Step 3: Generating a quasi-periodic lattice The lattice is based on a topological transformation of the grid from step 2 30
31 Step 4: Creating a nonlinear superlattice The vertices of the lattice mark the location of a repeated cell characterized by a uniform nonlinear permittivity value Design of the repeated cell shapes the spectrum energy distribution ( 2 ) χ ( 2 ) + χ 31
32 How to construct the quasi-crystal? 1. Start with D two-dimensional mismatch vectors (1) µ ( D) µ ( k,..., k ), [ µ = 1,2] 2. Add D-2 components to each of the mismatch vectors ( q (1) µ,... q ( D) µ [ µ = 3. One obtains D D-dimensional vectors ), ( j) ( j) ( j) K = ( k, q 3.. D] ) ( j) ( j) ( j) 4. Find the dual basis A = ( a, b ), where a is twodimensional and b is D-2 dimensional, such that ( j) 5. Put a cell at a subset of the positions given A ( i) K = 2πδ ij j n j a ( j) 32
33 DGM design example in 1D: Quasi-periodic superlattice Choosing required spectral content e.g. two parallel phase-mismatch vectors. k 1 = 2π τ k = 2 2π 33
34 Step 2: Creating a 1D grid Creating the grid: each vector defines a family of lines in the direction of the vector and with separation inversely proportional to its magnitude 2π = τ k 1 2π k 2 = 1 34
35 Step 3: Creating a 1D Quasi-periodic super lattice Transforming the grid to a lattice: The order of appearance of the lines from each family (its topology) determines the order of the lattice building blocks S = 1 L = τ 35
