Efficient realization of infrared coherent radiation by the method of parametric light amplification in nonlinear photonic crystals

Abstract

Abstract The process of parametric amplification of light from short laser pulses in nonlinear photonic crystals is analyzed numerically. The calculations were carried out taking into account the effects of the dispersion of the medium up to the third order and cubic nonlinearity of the Kerr type. It is shown that a change in the size of domains can significantly affect the formation of a signal wave pulse. On the basis of the results obtained, we analyzed the optimal values of the domain size at which the efficient energetic generation of the signal wave is observed.
