Abstract:
The advantage for quadratic soliton generation of engineering the quasi-phase-matching period near the input of lithium niobate slab waveguides is demonstrated. This approach allows members of one-dimensional quadratic soliton families with different values of the wave-vector mismatch to be cleanly excited and to be characterized by quantitative intensity-profile measurements of both the fundamental and the second-harmonic soliton components.
