We have experimentally demonstrated sum-frequency generation (SFG) in a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal, using a mode-locked picosecond-pulsed fiber laser and a continuous-wave (CW) diode laser with a narrow linewidth. The mode-locked fiber laser had a center wavelength of 1560.7 nm and a spectral width of 1.1 nm, and the CW diode laser had a center wavelength of 1551.0 nm and a spectral width of 6 MHz. To effectively realize SFG, both of the spatial modes of the two lasers were made to overlap in the PPLN crystal by using a single-mode optical fiber. The pulse-mode SFG with pulsed- and CW-mode lasers was successfully observed in the spectral and time domains. These results are expected to be applicable in various ways, such as optical frequency measurement and high-resolution laser spectroscopy studies using optical frequency combs.

수중에서 발생된 기포에 음파가 입사되었을 때, 입사된 음파는 물 속의 기포들에 강제적인 진동을 주어 새로운 음원으로서 활동하게 한다. 이런 경우 기포의 진동은 비선형적인 진동 특성이 강하게 나타나게 되어, 기포는 입사된 음파에 의존하는 비선형 인자로서 작용하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 수중에 발생되는 기포층의 비선형응답 및 다른 형태의 응답을 실험적으로 고찰하기 위하여, 인위적으로 제작된 기포 발생장치를 이용하여 발생된 기포층에 음파를 입사하였다. 이때 입사된 음파는 기포들과의 상호작용을 인하여 여러 가지 응답을 나타내었으며, 비선형 응답으로써 배진동 세기의 현저한 증가와 합주파수 음파 발생 등이 두드러지게 나타났다. 또한 개개 기포의 공진 주파수 근처에서는 물론, 그보다 높은 고주파수에서도 합주파수 형태의 비선형응답이 매우 특징적으로 관찰되었다.

원자와 빛과의 상호 작용의 결과로 원자에 결맞음이 유도될 수 있는데, 결맞음이 오래 지속될 수 있는 경우, 원자의 결맞음은 빛의 전파 및 비선형 광학 현상에 영향을 미친다. 느린 빛, 빠른 빛의 발생, 빛의 저장 및 재생, 낮은 출력을 이용한 합주파수 발생 및 4광파 혼합, 닮은 꼴 펄스의 발생 등은 빛이 결맞은 원자를 지나갈 때 나타날 수 있는 현상들이다. 빛과 원자와의 상호 작용은 슈뢰딩거 방정식이나 밀도 행렬 방정식을 풀어 기술할 수 있고, 빛의 전파는 맥스웰 방정식을 풀어 기술할 수 있으므로 결맞은 매질에서 빛의 전파를 이론적으로 연구하기 위해서는 두 방정식을 결합하여 해를 구해야 한다.

This study was aimed to evaluate the characteristics of impact sound of golf driver according to impact points of its face. In order to get the consistent impact sounds, the apparatus for free golf ball drop was prepared and used. Timed amplitude patterns and maximum spectral peaks of the impact sounds were variant according to the impact points of driver face. As an alternative method of impact sound analysis, cumulative sum of spectral power (cumsum) was used to distinguish between impact sounds according to the impact positions. From the comparison of frequencies representing 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% of cumsum of impact sound, 40% cumsum frequency of the center of driver face was lower than that of the toe and the heel. This finding suggests that the impact sound from the center of driver face has higher spectral power of low frequency component than that of the toe and heel.

Sum frequency generation was utilized to obtain a yellow laser with the wavelength of 578.4 nm for a probe laser of an Yb lattice clock. The output of an Nd:YAG laser with wavelength of 1319 nm and that of an Yb-fiber laser with wavelength of 1030 nm were passed through a waveguided periodically-poled lithium niobate (WG-PPLN) for sum frequency generation. It is required that the probe laser has a linewidth of the order of 1 Hz to fully resolve the Yb lattice clock transition. Thus, the linewidth of the probe laser was reduced by stabilizing the frequency to a super-cavity. This was made of ULE with a low thermal expansion coefficient, and was mounted on an active vibration-isolation table at the optimal point for the reduced sensitivity to vibration. Also, this was installed in a vacuum chamber, and the temperature was stabilized to 1 mK level. This system was installed in an acoustic enclosure to block acoustic noise. The finesse of the super-cavity was measured to be 380 000 from the photon life time of the cavity.

Spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction (SPIDER) was fabricated and used to characterize pulses from a Ti:sapphire oscillator. In the SPIDER apparatus, two replicas of the input pulse were generated with a time delay of 200 fs and were upconverted by use of sum-frequency generation with a strongly chirped pulse using a 8-cm-long SFIO glass block at a 30-11m-thick type II BBO (p-BaBz04) crystal. The resulting interferogram was recorded with a UV-enhanced CCD array in the spectrometer. The spectral phase was retrieved by SPIDER algorithm in combination with independently measured pulse spectrum and the corresponding temporal intensity profile was reconstructed with a duration of 19 fs. As an independent cross-check of the accuracy of the method, we compared the interferometric autocorrelation (lAC) signal calculated from the SPIDER data with a separately measured lAC. The conventional, but unjustified, method of fitting a sechz pulse to the autocorrelation deceivingly yielded a pulse duration of 15 fs. This systematic underestimation of the pulse duration affirms the need for a complete characterization method. From the consideration in this paper, we concluded that the SPIDER could provide an accurate characterization of femtosecond pulses. ulses.

We present a low jitter frequency up-conversion detector based on quasi-phase matched sum frequency generation in a periodically poled $LiNbO_3$ waveguide for efficient single-photon detection at 1.5 ${\mu}m$ telecommunication wavelengths. The maximum detection efficiency and the noise count rate using the pump power of 300 mW and the pump wavelength of 974 nm are about 7% and 480 kHz, respectively. We also characterize the timing jitter of the frequency up-conversion detector by analyzing the time distribution of the detection outputs for photons generated through a picosecond pump pulsed spontaneous parametric downconversion. The minimum timing jitter was measured to be about 39.1 ps. Coincidence measurement with a narrow time window for pulsed up-conversion photons can eliminate the unwanted noise counts and maximize signal to noise ratio.
