High resolution x-ray investigation of periodically poled lithium tantalate crystals with short periodicity

Marco Bazzan, Cinzia Sada, Nicola Argiolas +5

Domain engineering technology in lithium tantalate is a well studied approach for nonlinear optical applications. However, for several cases of interest, the realization of short p…

Features of randomized electric-field assisted domain inversion in lithium tantalate

Salvatore Stivala, Fabrizio Buccheri, Luciano Curcio +3

We report on bulk and guided-wave second-harmonic generation via random Quasi-Phase-Matching in Lithium Tantalate. By acquiring the far-field profiles at several wavelengths, we ex…

Continuous-wave backward frequency doubling in periodically poled lithium niobate

Salvatore Stivala, Alessandro C. Busacca, Luciano Curcio +3

We report on backward second-harmonic-generation in bulk periodically poled congruent lithium niobate with a 3.2 microns period. A tunable continuous-wave Ti:sapphire laser allowed…

The role of nonlinear optical absorption in narrow-band difference frequency terahertz-wave generation

Matteo Cherchi, Saverio Bivona, Alfonso C. Cino +2

We present a general analysis of the influence of nonlinear optical absorption on terahertz generation via optical difference frequency generation, when reaching for the quantum co…

Universal charts for optical difference frequency generation in the terahertz domain

Matteo Cherchi, Saverio Bivona, Alfonso C. Cino +2

We present a universal and rigorous approach to study difference frequency generation in the terahertz domain, keeping the number of degrees of freedom to a minimum, through the de…
