오늘날 급속한 인터넷 사용량 증가로 인해 광통신 시스템의 고속화와 대용량화의 필요성은 점점 커지고 있다. 이에 광신호 처리에 있어서 초고속 광 스위칭과 파장분할 다중화 방식이 활발히 연구되고있으며, 특히 주기적으로 분극 반전된 리튬나오베이트(LiNbO$_3$：PPLN)를 이용한 스위칭 소자나 파장 변환기에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. PPLN 제작을 위하여 최근에는 고압의 전계를 리튬나오베이트(LiNbO$_3$)에 인가하는 방법이 우수한 특성으로 인하여 주로 사용되고 있다. (중략)

When external field was applied to congruent $LiNbO_3$, it was investgated for domain formation and expansion of $LiNbO_3$. The domain wall velocities of 0.5 mm thickness $LiNbO_3$ were 28.70, 16.02 and $5.75{\mu}m/sec$ under poling field of 23.5, 22.0 and 21.0 kV/mm, respectively. As $1 M{\Omega}$ resistor was used in domain inversion system, harmonic domain inversion was not achieved by rapid domain expansion. And 50% duty cycle periodically poled $LiNbO_3$ have been fabricated by charge control using $10 M{\Omega}$ resistor.

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.

Coherent tunable terahertz generation was demonstrated in periodically poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate crystal via difference frequency generation of femtosecond laser pulses. Simultaneous forward and backward terahertz radiations were obtained around 1.35 and 0.63 THz, respectively at low temperature. By cooling the crystal to reduce losses caused by phonon absorptions, the generated THz bandwidth was as narrow as 23GHz at the center frequency of 0.63 THz. The measurement result of temperature-dependent showed gradual intensity increase of the generated terahertz pulse and red shift of the center frequency as the temperature decrease from 291 to 143 K, but insignificant reduction of the spectral bandwidth. Furthermore, the stoichiometric crystal was very suitable for the suppression of THz loss at low temperature compared to the congruent $LiNbO_3$ crystal.

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.

A fabrication process of periodic electric field assisted poling of Ti-diffused channel waveguides in LiNbO3 (Ti:PPLN) has been developed and improved using a periodic 180o phase inversion along the z-axis. The zig for poling inversion and the Labview program of charge control have been devised. Pulse high voltage and duty cycle were adjusted based on the estimated charge required for poling inversion. Monitoring the change of leakage current under applied voltage less than the coercive voltage also minimized a breakdown.

Periodic electric field assisted poling low loss (${\sim}0.1dB/cm$) single-mode Ti-diffused waveguides in $LiNbO_3$ has been achieved using a periodically patterned electrode on the +Z surface of Ti : $LiNbO_3$ crystal and homogeneous LiCl solution. Using selective chemical etching, we confirmed the periodic (${\sim}16{\mu}m$) domain inverted structure and measured SH (second harmonic) properties of fabricated periodically poled Ti : $LiNbO_3$ waveguides.

1962년 Armstrong 등에 의해 second harmonic generation(SHG) 의 이론이 완성된 후 SHG 효율을 높이기 위한 방법으로 비선형성이 큰 물질의 개발과 더불어 위상정합(phase matching)을 만족시키는 여러가지 방법이 연구 되었다. 특히 위상정합의 경우 지금까지는 복굴절을 이용하는 방법이 널리 사용되었으나 이 경우 입사광의 파장이 제한적이고, 많은 무기물 결정에서 비선형광학계수의 가장 큰 텐서 성분인 $d_{zzz}$를 사용할 수 없다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 반면 유사위상정합(Quasi-phase matching:QPM) 은 비선형광학계수( $d_{zzz}$)의 방향을 결맞음 길이(coherence length)마다 분극반전 시켜주어 2차 조화파의 진폭을 길이방향으로 계속 증가시키는 방법으로 구역반전된 길이를 조절하면 거의 모든 파장에 대해 비임계 위상정합( $d_{zzz}$ 사용)이 가능하고, 2차 조화파가 기본파의 전파경로에서 벗어나는 walk-off 현상이 없어 SHG 전환효율을 극대화할 수 있다.
