30 years of PPLN-what is old, what is new, and where next for PPLN and QPM material research?
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Since the first demonstration of electric field poling in 1993 - by workers at Sony - periodically poled materials (e.g. PPLN) have become ubiquitous in photonics. Their ability to allow quasi-phase matching opens up nonlinear optics across the full transparency bands of a material. In the case of PPLN this spans from the visible out to around 5 microns – offering a powerful route to create light in spectral regions where convenient lasers do not exist. This talk will cover underlying physics, materials, design, manufacturing and applications, as well as looking at next generation applications.
