摘要
Efficient second harmonic generation (SHG) employing quasi-phase-matching (QPM) method based on the spatial modulation of mode intensity has been demonstrated experimentally and theoretically in the optical fiber coupler system for the first time. The theory of coupling compensation is amended to be applicable for practical optical fiber nanowire (OFN) coupler platform even under strong coupling conditions. A unique OFN coupler composed of two suspended parallel 650 nm diameter OFNs is fabricated, and a distinct SHG peak is observed for 1014 nm pump light, which coincides with the calculated results by improved theory. The efficiency of the SHG of the OFN coupler is 4 orders of magnitude larger than that of each individual OFN. Moreover, the polarization extinction ratio of the output SHG in the OFN coupler is as large as 24 dB, which implies that the SHG in the structure has good polarization tunability.
