Title: Second harmonic generation in metal-LiNbO3-metal and LiNbO3 hybrid-plasmonic waveguides. Author: Carnio BN, Elezzabi AY. Journal: Opt Express; 2018 Oct 01; 26(20):26283-26291. PubMed ID: 30469718. Abstract: Nanoplasmonic waveguides based on lithium niobate (LN) are shown to provide the light-matter interaction required for next-generation developments in nonlinear frequency-conversion nanostructures. Here, we numerically investigate second harmonic generation of a 1550 nm, 100 fs pulse in metal-LN-metal (MLNM) nanoplasmonic and LN hybrid-plasmonic (LNHP) waveguides. In comparison to a photonic LN waveguide, a 2.1 µm-long LNHP waveguide exhibits a conversion efficiency improvement of 11 times, whereas a 20 µm-long MLNM nanoplasmonic waveguide is shown to have a conversion efficiency of 1.1 × 10-4. The MLNM nanoplasmonic and LNHP waveguides have the potential to operate as sources of optical radiation for on-chip photonic systems.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
