Title

Thin film devices for all-optical switching and processing via quadratic non-linearities

Keywords

Non-linear integrated optics; Quadratic non-linearity; Second-harmonic generation

Abstract

Quadratic non-linear optical effects, specifically the phase-shift that a fundamental frequency wave experiences through cascading during second-harmonic-generation and the successive down-conversion, are a viable route to all-optical signal processing in integrated optics geometries. We review the most relevant device concepts and their potential applications, with examples of experimental results and prospects for implementation in non-linear thin films. © 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
