Cerenkov Second-Harmonic Generation In The Strong Conversion Limit: New Effects

Abstract

Using beam propagation method calculations, we show that new effects occur for second-harmonic generation in the Cerenkov regime when it is optimized for efficient coupling to leaky modes. The fundamental throughput becomes independent of the input power over a few decades; i.e., optical power limiting is found. At even higher input powers, the fundamental throughput abruptly switches back to approximately the input power as a consequence of generating coupled second-harmonic-fundamental solitary waves in the waveguide because of the cascading effect. © 1996 Optical Society of America.
