A novel type of waveguide quasi-phase-matched device with output electro-optical (EO) modulation is proposed and demonstrated. The second-harmonic generated output can be modulated with a high extinction ratio by integration of dual EO phase modulators on a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide. Blue and green coherent light with EO modulation was demonstrated, and wavelength dispersion of r33 is discussed.

Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) filters find applications in radio frequency (RF) communication systems for Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks. In the beyond-5G (potential 6G) era, high-frequency bands (>8 GHz) are expected to require resonators with high-quality factor (Q) and electromechanical coupling ( ) to form filters with low insertion loss and high selectivity. However, both the Q and of resonator devices formed in traditional uniform polarization piezoelectric films of aluminum nitride (AlN) and aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN) decrease when scaled beyond 8 GHz.

In this study, we experimentally demonstrate a PPLN-based free-space to SMF (single-mode fiber) conversion system capable of efficient long-wavelength down-conversion from 518 nm, optimized for minimal loss in highly turbid water, to 1540 nm, which is ideal for low-loss transmission in standard SMF. Leveraging the nonlinear optical properties of periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN), we achieve a wavelength conversion efficiency of 1.6% through difference frequency generation while maintaining a received optical signal-to-noise ratio of 10.

Distributed feedback lasers, which feature rapid wavelength tunability, are not presently available in the yellow and orange spectral regions, impeding spectroscopic studies of short-lived species that absorb light in this range. To meet this need, a rapidly tunable laser system was constructed, characterized, and demonstrated for measurements of the NH radical at 597.4 nm.

Optical quantum communication technologies are making the prospect of unconditionally secure and efficient information transfer a reality. The possibility of generating and reliably detecting quantum states of light, with the further need of increasing the private data-rate is where most research efforts are focusing. The physical concept of entanglement is a solution guaranteeing the highest degree of security in device-independent schemes, yet its implementation and preservation over long communication links is hard to achieve.

Linear optical diffraction of light is a basic natural phenomenon subject to a long history study and it obeys the well-known reciprocity in transport. In this work we report observation of synergistic nonreciprocal linear and nonlinear diffraction of a Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser beam against a periodic poled lithium niobate (PPLN) thin plate nonlinear grating with a front surface corrugated with a shallow grating of a depth only 67 nm and a smooth back surface. A high peak power pump laser beam shining upon the geometrically asymmetric nonlinear grating from either the front surface and back surface will both cause significant second-order nonlinear (2nd-NL) Raman-Nath diffraction and Cerenkov radiation, in addition to apparent linear optical diffraction and modest third-order nonlinear (3rd-NL) spectral broadening.
