Abstract

The nonlinear phase shift associated with chi((2)) cascading was studied for ultrashort pulses in regimes with large temporal walk-offs between the fundamental and the chi((2))-generated second-harmonic (SH) pulses, a situation typical of semiconductors. Despite the small overlap between the fundamental and SH pulses after they walk-off each other: a nonlinear phase shift was numerically observed to occur at a rate comparable to that before they walk-off. A pi/2 phase shift was demonstrated even in a waveguide 15 times longer than the walk-off length.
