Further, described upward photonic crystal is one dimension, two dimension or three-D photon crystal, and described photonic crystal down is one dimension, two dimension or three-D photon crystal.
The present invention has following beneficial effect:
1, the present invention adopts photon crystal structure that light wave mould field is limited, and makes that the mould field energy of flashlight and pumping light is mated enough well when carrying out All Optical Wavelength Conversion, has improved mould field matching attribute, thereby improves wavelength conversion efficiency.If prepare two dimension or three-D photon crystal up and down at ducting layer, stronger to the light field restriction, better effects if more helps the raising of conversion efficiency.Divide generation and the transmission that helps frequency-doubled effect among the PPLN in this waveguide, its conversion efficiency is improved, also can improve the conversion efficiency of other second order and cascaded second-order nonlinear interaction simultaneously.
2, in the middle of the present invention designs photonic crystal applications to the PPLN waveguiding structure, can make that fundamental frequency pumping light and frequency doubled light just are in the forbidden photon band in the frequency multiplication process, the light wave that forbidden photon band can stop frequency to fall within it enters other media from the PPLN waveguide, causes waveguide that the loss of specific wavelength is reduced.When the fundamental frequency pumping light transmitted in this PPLN, because frequency-doubled effect produces frequency doubled light, this two-beam had minimum loss in this waveguide.
3, ducting layer can adopt symmetrical structure up and down in the optical waveguide of the present invention, light field is symmetrical distribution in the waveguide so, with the easier coupling of single-mode fiber, coupling efficiency is higher, ducting layer photonic crystal up and down has very high reflectivity, so stronger to light field restriction in the waveguide, optical power density is higher, is very beneficial for the generation of nonlinear effect.
