We describe a wavelength conversion experiment (generation of a pulse at the wavelength λp - Δλ from a signal at λp+Δλ under the action of a pump at λp) performed through cascaded second-order process in a lithium niobate channel waveguide. With a 58-mm-long Ti diffused channel waveguide, λp=1.1 μ m (the wavelength of phase matching for the first step of sh generation), Δλ of several nanometers and 20 ps pulse duration, wavelength conversion with unit efficiency is obtained with a pump pulse energy of the order of 102 pJ. The experimental results are successfully interpreted by making use of modal analysis and solving the appropriate nonlinear equations.

Abstractβ-Nitrostyrene (βNS) was irradiated at r. t. in solutions of hexamethylphosph. triamide (HMPT) with 50 ns pulses of 15 MeV electrons. It was found that βNS reacts with solvated electrons almost encounter controlled (k(e-solv + βNS) = (9 ± 3) · 109 l/mol s) forming the radical anion · βNS-. The optical absorption spectrum of the latter was recorded in dilute solutions ([βNS] < 5 × 10-3 mol/l). At higher βNS concentrations the formation of an additional optical absorption after the pulse in the wavelength range between 460 nm and 570 nm was detected, which is attributed to the reaction of βNS with · βNS- yielding the dimeric radical anion (· βNS-βNS-). The rate constant for this process is 4 × 107 l/mol s. At low βNS concentrations ( < 5 × 10-3 mol/l) the transient spectrum decayed by a second order process (k2 - (2.2 ± 0.5) · 109 l/mol s). This process is correlated to the neutralization of radical anions by cations formed initially. At [βNS] > 5 × 10-3 mol/l only the band at 630 nm decays according to second order kinetics. This band is correlated to the part of the anions with the highest electron density, the nitro groups. At wavelengths below 570 nm the absorptions of various species overlap. These species decay by different rate laws.

Second Order Nonlinearity

The distributions of electric field and the induced second-order nonlinearity are discussed in a poling scheme where the width of a periodic electrode is shorter than the conventional coherent length. The theoretical aspects of quasi-phase matching for a subsequent experiment in second harmonic generation are analyzed. The present analysis consistently explains that the conversion efficiency can be enhanced if the electrode width is shortened, and maximized if the electrode width is optimized.

Second Order Process

Trichloromethyl radicals (λmax < 230 nm, ε230 nm = 2300 ± 450 M−1 cm−1) are formed by the pulse radiolysis of aqueous carbon tetrachloride solutions. At concentrations of the order of 10−4M and pH 5.5–12.4, CCl3 disappears by a second-order process with 2k = (7.4 ± 1.8) × 108 M−1 s−1 and without detectable hydrolysis. Both CCl3 and CHCl2 are believed to be formed by the pulse radiolysis of aqueous chloroform solutions but at wavelengths greater than 230 nm only absorption attributable to CCl3 was observed.
