Phase-matched third-harmonic generation in highly germanium-doped fiber

Opt Lett. 2012 Feb 1;37(3):289-91. doi: 10.1364/OL.37.000289.

Abstract

Phase-matched third-harmonic generation is demonstrated in a germanium-doped optical fiber. Green light at 514.4 nm is generated in an LP(03) mode when a pump field at ~1543.3 nm is launched into the fiber in the fundamental LP(01) mode. The phase matching is achieved for a particular combination of the germanium doping concentration and the fiber core diameter.
