Multiple quasi-phase-matched LiNbO3 wavelength converter with a continuously phase-modulated domain structure

Opt Lett. 2003 Apr 1;28(7):558-60. doi: 10.1364/ol.28.000558.

Abstract

We have devised a novel device structure for a multiple quasi-phase-matched wavelength converter. Optimized continuous phase modulation of a periodic domain structure makes possible multichannel pumping with minimum loss of efficiency. Using the device, we demonstrate variable and simultaneous wavelength conversion of wavelength-division multiplexed signals.
