Abstract
Three wave mixing using a fiber ring resonator scheme is discussed, and experimental results are presented. In this scheme, an optical nonlinear medium is placed into the fiber ring laser cavity, and a semiconductor optical amplifier and a tunable optical band pass filter (TOBPF) are used as the gain medium and lasing wavelength selector. The phase-matching condition, which is necessary for efficient wave mixing, can easily be satisfied by tuning the TOBPF. Second-harmonic generation (SHG) and sum-frequency generation (SFG) were demonstrated using a LiNbO3 waveguide with a periodically domain inverted structure. Enhancements of SHG and SFG were achieved.Keywords
