All-optical signal processing using cascaded quadratic interactions in periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides

This thesis investigates all-optical signal processing using cascaded quadratic nonlinearities in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguides for telecommunication applications. PPLN waveguides which possess high second-order nonlinearity are attractive due to their suitable properties with...
