Abstract

Multimode capillary waveguide arrays containing reverse-saturable absorbers exhibit an enhancement of the nonlinear response. Experimental data are modeled by the effect of partial mode filling, influenced by fill fraction and capillary diameter.

Using an analytical approach we quantitatively estimate the effects of the pulse shape and material parameters on the intensity-dependent transmittance of reverse saturable absorbers. Irradiance levels required to fully exploit the nonlinearity are estimated.

We demonstrate effective control of spatial degrees of freedom for photon pairs generated in a multimode nonlinear waveguide by dispersive properties of the structure. This is confirmed by observation of Shih-Alley polarization entanglement.

We show that second order nonlinear optical effects can be greatly enhanced in microring resonator structures even in the presence of material and modal dispersion, without the need for artificially structuring the nonlinear properties of the waveguides.
