Ultra-fast saturable absorber through spatial self-trapping and filtering in Ti: PPLN film waveguides

Numerical and experimental investigations on ultra-fast all-optical saturable absorber on picosecond optical pulses at 1547 nm using spatial self-trapped propagation in a quadratic nonlinear film waveguide combined with spatial filtering are reported. The influences of phase-mismatch, pulse intensit...

Zusammenfassung:Numerical and experimental investigations on ultra-fast all-optical saturable absorber on picosecond optical pulses at 1547 nm using spatial self-trapped propagation in a quadratic nonlinear film waveguide combined with spatial filtering are reported. The influences of phase-mismatch, pulse intensity and spatial filtering on the temporal reshaping mechanism are discussed to derive the optimum parameters.
