Matching Response

Bandwidth enhancement and response flattening of wavelength conversion based on single-pass and double-pass cascaded second harmonic generation and difference frequency generation in step-segmented quasi-phase matched (QPM) gratings are investigated. For the same waveguide length, high conversion efficiency, flat response and broad signal bandwidth can be obtained simultaneously by optimizing the poling period of the step-segmented QPM structure. The conversion bandwidths in a 3-cm-long five-step-segmented waveguide are 134 nm for single-pass scheme and 132 nm for the double-pass one, respectively, which are both over the whole conventional band and long-wavelength band. The ripple on the matching response can keeps less than 0.2 dB as well.

Frequency Generation

Step-chirped gratings is utilized to broaden the bandwidth of wavelength conversion based on single-pass/ double-pass cascaded second harmonic generation and difference frequency generation. By adding the step-chirped gratings number and optimizing the poling period, broad conversion bandwidth and flat response can be obtained simultaneously. The bandwidth of 4-cm-long waveguide with 6-section chirped gratings are 169 nm for single-pass scheme and 164 nm for the double-pass one, which are 98 nm and 101 nm larger than those of uniform gratings, respectively. Furthermore, comparison between step-chirped gratings and equal-segmented gratings is carried out.
