Third-harmonic generation via nonlinear Raman-Nath diffraction in nonlinear photonic crystal. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We report on the observation of multiple third-harmonic conical waves generated in an annular periodically poled nonlinear photonic crystal. We show that the conical beams are formed as a result of the cascading effect involving two parametric processes that satisfy either the transverse and/or longitudinal phase-patching conditions. This is the first experimental observation of third-harmonic generation based on nonlinear Raman-Nath diffraction.
