The creation of efficient broadband frequency conversion devices while maintaining robustness to manufacturing and setup errors is crucial for accurate multiphoton spectroscopy, broadband imaging and the design of robust optical sources. Traditionally, nonlinear optical conversion processes are either efficient but narrowband, or broadband but with low photon conversion yield. Several methods have been introduced in recent years to obtain both with great success, among them we can find adiabatic frequency conversion and Shaka-Pines composite segmented design. Here, we expand the composite design and introduce the Detuning Modulated Composite Segmented (DMCS) scheme in nonlinear optics, which offers a broadband, efficient and robust method for frequency conversion. We also present the constant-length DMCS (CL-DMCS) scheme, which offers multiple efficient and robust wavelength regimes for broadband upconversion. We apply these schemes to a system of Quasi Phase-Matching crystal for the Sum Frequency Generation process, and demonstrate the high robustness and bandwidth of the composite schemes. We show that these schemes are robust to temperature and crystal length variations and can have a superior conversion bandwidth under length and power constraints compared to other conversion schemes, such as Periodically Poled and Adiabatic Chirped crystals. We believe that the new family of DMCS schemes will have many uses in applications of frequency conversion, due to their robustness, low energy demand and compact size.
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.
