Effect of the domain shape on noncollinear second-harmonic emission in disordered quadratic media

Abstract: We study the role of the individual ferroelectric domain shape on the second-harmonic emission in strontium barium niobate featuring a random quadratic nonlinearity. The noncollinearly emitted second-harmonic signal is scanned in the far-field at different incident angles for different domain size distributions. This offers the possibility to retrieve the Fourier spectrum, corresponding to the spatial domain distribution and domain shape. Based on images of the domain structures retrieved by Čerenkov-type seco… Show more

“…These patterns exhibit an irregular spatial distribution because of the random domain size. The individual domains have the form of rods or pyramids with a quadratic shape, corresponding to the crystal symmetry 4 mm . The reported domain widths in SBN crystals range between a few hundred nanometers and a few micrometers …”

“…A significant number of papers are devoted to harmonic generation and wavelength conversion [13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. In [13], parametric down-conversion from near-IR to mid IR (2-5 micrometers) is demonstrated.…”

“…A PPLN waveguide is also used in [15], as two tunable parametric-oscillator sources in the mid-IR range, which then are difference-frequency mixed to generate light in the 8-10 micrometer region. SHG generated from gold nanoparticles is demonstrated in [16], and in [17] by using Strontium Barium Niobate. The latter is used to obtain information of domain patterns and structures.…”

“…SEM), Piezoelectric Force Microscopy (PFM), Scanning Force Microscopy (SFM)[Soe05]. The nonlinear diffraction phenomenon has been considered to be a very useful tool in the research field of laser-matter interactions, since it was first introduced into the field of nonlinear optics in 1968 [Isa68].Recently, based on the one-dimensional (1D) model from Le Grand et al[Gra01] some scientists have used the SH diffraction to forecast the one-peak domain statistics of random nonlinear crystals[Rop10,Ayo11,Ayo13]. However, this 1D Model is only valid as long as the variance of the domain distribution is small compared to mean domain width.…”
