In this study, multi-wavelength second-harmonic generation (SHG) based on self-phase modulation (SPM) broadband supercontinuum (SC) was observed by employing a double-clad high nonlinear optical fiber (HNLF) in conjunction with a femtosecond laser. At a wavelength of 1050 nm and an average pump power of 320 mW, multiple phase-matching conditions were achieved, and SH signals of central wavelengths ∼530.7 nm, ∼525.1 nm, ∼503.5 nm, and ∼478.7 nm were observed, with SHG efficiency reaching ∼1.34 × 10. The SHG in this experiment can be attributed to the utilization of a doped optical fiber, where dopants create defect states, facilitating optical-chemical transformation and enhancing second-order polarization susceptibility. Additionally, theoretical simulations were conducted, aligning closely with the experimental findings. To the best of our knowledge, this work marks the first demonstration of multi-wavelength SHG in optical fibers. It offers a distinctive avenue for customizing multi-wavelength ultrafast light sources, exhibiting great application potential in the fields of medical diagnostics and optical sensing.

Spectral evolution in nonlinear optical processes, such as second harmonic generation (SHG) and sum frequency generation (SFG), plays a crucial role in multi-wavelength generation through nonlinear frequency conversion. In this study, the enhancement of spectral performance in a multi-wavelength visible laser facilitated by SHG-SFG hybrid processes is proposed and demonstrated, for the first time to our knowledge. An output of up to eleven wavelengths can be achieved using a six-wavelength pump.

- Thin film lithium niobate is a promising material for integrated photonics, known for its strong ability to convert wavelengths due to its second-order nonlinear properties.
- The team demonstrated simultaneous phase-matching for multiple wavelengths in coupled thin film lithium niobate waveguides without needing a poling technique, using modal phase-matching.
- They showed that the phase-matching wavelengths can be adjusted by changing the gap between waveguides, paving the way for efficient nonlinear optical processes in nanophotonics and quantum optics.

A magnesium oxide doped periodically polarized lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) crystal and a lithium triborate (LBO) crystal are employed as the optical parametric downconversion (OPDC) and SHG crystals, respectively. Especially, the introduced SHG can firstly increase the loss difference between the lasing and non-lasing modes so that the dual-mode or multi-mode coupling in the achieved SRO can be effectively eliminated and the stable SLM operation is achieved.

In this study we investigate the optical properties of a 2D-gap surface plasmon metasurface composed of gold nanoblocks (nanoantennas) arranged in a metal-dielectric configuration. This novel structure demonstrates the capability of generating simultaneous multi-plasmonic resonances and offers tunability within the near-infrared domain. Through finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations, we analyze the metasurface's reflectance spectra for various lattice periods and identify two distinct dips with near-zero reflectance, indicative of resonant modes.
