Spatial polarization independent parametric upconversion of vectorially structured light
arXiv:2004.00778 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.13.064041
Abstract
Spatial polarization independent (SPI) parametric conversion is the basis of many optical applications, such as SPI frequency interface for communication channels carried by vector modes and upconversion detection for polarization-resolved imaging. However, realizing such conversion remains a challenge. In this proof-of-principle work, we demonstrated SPI parametric upconversion using a polarization Sagnac nonlinear interferometer based on type-II second-harmonic generation (SHG). Our results show that the vector (including both polarization and intensity) profile and associated SOC state of the vector signal beam could be transferred to the SHG beam with a high fidelity. The principle lays a foundation of SPI frequency interface for quantum/classical channels based on vector modes and also paves the way for upconversion detection of polarization-resolved imaging in Mid-/far-infrared region.
