摘要
We demonstrate the first, to the best of our knowledge, type-0 broadband sum-frequency generation (SFG) based on single-crystal periodically poled LiNbO3 (PPLN) thin film. The broad bandwidth property was largely tuned from mid-infrared region to the telecommunications band by engineering the thickness of PPLN from bulk crystal to nanoscale. It provides SFG a solution with both broadband and high efficiency by using the highest nonlinear coefficient d(33) instead of d(31) in type-I broadband SFG or second-harmonic generation. The measured 3 dB upconversion bandwidth is about 15.5nm for a 4 cm long single crystal at 1530 nm wavelength. It can find applications in chip-scale spectroscopy, quantum information processing, LiNbO3-thin-film-based microresonator and optical nonreciprocity devices, etc. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America
