Conventional narrowband spectrum polarization devices are short but not robust, based on quasi-phase matching (QPM) technique, in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal. In this paper, we propose short-length and robust polarization rotators by using shortcuts to adiabaticity. Beyond the QPM condition, the electric field and period of PPLN crystal are designed in terms of invariant dynamics, and further optimized with respect to input wavelength/refractive index variations. In addition, the stability of conversion efficiency on the electric field and period of PPLN crystal is also discussed. As a consequence, the optimal shortcuts are fast as well as robust, which provide broadband spectrum polarization devices with short length.

This paper reports a 3.8 µm pulse burst self-optical parametric oscillator (SOPO) employing the Nd:MgO:PPLN crystal, achieving programmable mid-infrared pulse burst output based on step-active Q-switching technology. Building on the intracavity optical parametric oscillator (IOPO) theory, a theoretical model for the step-active Q-switched self-optical parametric oscillator is developed by introducing idler photon and step loss terms.

Theoretical and experimental investigation of two-stage optical parametric generator based on magnesium oxide doped periodically poled lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) crystal and optical parametric amplifier based on lithium triborate (LBO) crystal is presented. The first stage crystal was pumped by the subnanosecond fundamental harmonic at 1064 nm wavelength. In the theoretical description, the input signal and idler photons are described by the quantum model and their further amplification is tracked by simulating the nonlinear coupling equations.

Benefiting from the two types of bismuth active centers associated with silicon and phosphorus introduced in one fiber, an ultrabroad gain is available in the designed low-water-peak bismuth-doped phosphosilicate fiber (Bi-PSF) pumped by a self-made 1239 nm Raman fiber laser. The high-efficiency tunable lasing is achieved with a maximum output power of 1.
