We propose a cascaded periodically poled lithium niobate device. In the device, two lithium niobate crystals with different quasi-phase matching wavelengths are cascaded. We numerically show that the cascaded periodically poled lithium niobate device has an all-optical level discriminating characteristic, thus enabling a compact and stable ultra-fast 3R circuit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
