Progress and prospects in nonlinear extreme-ultraviolet and X-ray optics and spectroscopy

Majed Chergui

Free-electron lasers and high-harmonic-generation table-top systems are new sources of extreme-ultraviolet to hard X-ray photons, providing ultrashort pulses that are intense, coherent and tunable. They are enabling a broad range of nonlinear optical and s ...

A chip-scale second-harmonic source via self-injection-locked all-optical poling

Tobias Kippenberg, Camille Sophie Brès, Marco Clementi, Junqiu Liu, Edgars Nitiss

Second-harmonic generation allows for coherently bridging distant regions of the optical spectrum, with applications ranging from laser technology to self-referencing of frequency combs. However, accessing the nonlinear response of a medium typically requi ...

Nonlinear Frequency Conversion in III-Nitride Doubly Resonant Photonic Crystal Cavities

Jun Wang

Nonlinear frequency conversion processes, such as second-harmonic generation (SHG) and spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), are essential in many applications, including the generation of entangled photons. It's desirable to enhance these process ...

Gd3+-Functionalized Lithium Niobate Nanoparticles for Dual Multiphoton and Magnetic Resonance Bioimaging

Marinella Mazzanti, Sandrine Gerber, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Katarzyna Pierzchala, Ileana Ozana Jelescu, Jérémy Vuilleumier, Raphaël Jovita De Matos, Laura Camille Louise Nicolle, Adrian Stefan Gheata, Dario Diviani, Luigi Bonacina, Fiorella Lucarini

Harmonic nanoparticles (HNPs) have emerged as appealing exogenous probes for optical bioimaging due to their distinctive features such as long-term photostability and spectral flexibility, allowing multiphoton excitation in the classical (NIR-I) and extend ...

A large amount of experimental and theoretical works deals with the second harmonic generation from different plasmonic geometries. Since they often consider relatively long optical pulses, many of these studies are focused on the investigation of a quasi- ...

SPIE2020

Frequency doubling of an infrared laser radiation in non-linear optical crystals is a widely used technique to obtain light in the visible range. The second harmonic generation process is influenced by several well-known parameters. In this article we stud ...

Strong second-harmonic generation from Au-Al heterodimers

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet, Gabriel David Bernasconi

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) is investigated from three kinds of lithographically fabricated plasmonic systems: Al monomers, Au monomers and Au-Al heterodimers with nanogaps of 20 nm. Spectrally integrated SHG intensities and the linear optical respons ...

Due to its symmetry properties, second-harmonic generation in plasmonic nanostructures enables the observation of even-parity modes that couple weakly to the far field. Consequentially, those modes radiate less and thus have a longer lifetime. Using a full ...
