We report experimental values for the nonlinear optical coefficients of AlGaAs, in the half-band-gap spectral region. The dispersion of the nonlinear refractive-index coefficient, n/sub 2/, is measured for both TE- and TM-polarized light. We observe n/sub 2/(TE)>n/sub 2/(TM) and a ratio of cross-phase modulation to self-phase modulation (TE) of /spl sim/0.95, as predicted from band structure calculations. The spectral dependence of the two- and three-photon absorption coefficients are also measured. Finally, the implications for all-optical switching and spatial soliton propagation are discussed.read more

Efficient frequency comb generation in algaas-on-insulator
TL;DR: In this article, the combination of nonlinear and integrated photonics enables Kerr frequency comb generation in stable chip-based micro-resonators, where optical parametric oscillations are achieved with milliwatt-level pump threshold powers, which paves the way for on-chip pumped comb generation.

Parametric amplification and frequency conversion in optical fibers
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the parametric four-photon gain for light pulses decreases for fibers longer than a characteristic length, which is related to the common experimental observation that stimulated parametric emission is usually prominent only in short fibers while in long fibers stimulated Raman scattering dominates.
