Experimental characterization of three-wave mixing in a multimode nonlinear KTiOPO_4 waveguide
arXiv:0904.4577 · doi:10.1063/1.3132086
Abstract
We report experimental determination of the phase-matching function for type-II three-wave mixing in a periodically poled KTiOPO_4 waveguide in the 792-815 nm spectral region. The measurement was performed by sum-frequency generation of spectrally tuned fundamental components. Strong dependence of the observed signal on the excited spatial modes in the waveguide has been observed and fully interpreted. These results indicate a route to employ the waveguide for spontaneous parametric down-conversion producing photon pairs in well-defined spatial modes.
