Magnetization-induced second-harmonic generation in magnetophotonic crystals

Abstract: Magnetization-induced second-harmonic generation is observed in magnetic photonic-crystal microcavities. The microcavity is formed from a half-wavelength-thick Bi-substituted yttrium-iron-garnet film sandwiched between two high-finesse dielectric Bragg reflectors. The transversal nonlinear magneto-optical Kerr effect reveals itself in magnetization-induced variations of the intensity and the relative phase of the second-harmonic wave. The variations reach the factor of 4 in intensity and 180°in phase for oppos… Show more

“…This aim could be reached in a very good approximation by Kato et al (2003) with a bilayer number k = 6, an enhancement of θ F by a factor of 150, and an absorption in the order 10 −6 . Figure 33 (inset) gives an impression of the high finesse of the spectral enhancement of both the optical transmission and the Faraday rotation (enhancement factor 50) of a related MPC, (SiO 2 /Ta 2 O 3 ) 5 /Bi:YIG/(SiO 2 /Ta 2 O 3 ) 5 (Murzina et al, 2004).…”

“…As a result of this combination, SHG and third-harmonic generation (THG) become very sensitive to control by external magnetic impacts. MSHG has, for example, been observed in MPC microcavities formed from a half-wavelength-thick Bi:YIG film sandwiched between two high-finesse dielectric Bragg reflectors (Murzina et al, 2004;Fedyanina et al, 2004). Apart from the well-known enhancement of the Faraday rotation (Figure 33, inset), this 1D MPC reveals SHG for both s-and p-polarized fundamental radiation, which is resonance enhanced at least by a factor of 10 3 as compared to the intensity outside the PBG (Figure 33, main panel).…”

“…In this manner, many modern optical instruments have been realized employing photonic-crystal-based cavities [43], waveguides [44], collimators [45], or beam-splitters [46] with unique properties inaccessible in classical media, e.g., the high quality factor of resonators and low attenuation in waveguides based on lossless frequency-selective mirrors or claddings, respectively. It is also desirable to appreciate the capability of the formalism to deal with generally anisotropic media, e.g., magnetically ordered materials forming magneto-photonic crystals, because they offer further opportunities such as highly efficient optical isolation [47], unidirectional and time-reversal asymmetry [48], nonreciprocity causing a broad range of mode group velocities down to frozen modes [49,50] (usable for signal delay lines or optical buffers for data storage), or magneto-optically induced second-and third-harmonic generation [51,52].…”

“…One-way edge modes analogous to quantum Hall edge states in twodimensional photonic crystals in gyrotropic media were investigated by Haldane, Raghu and other authors [9][10][11]. Magnetization-induced second-harmonic-generation in magneto-photonic crystals was studied by Murzina and co-workers [12]. Levy and coworkers reported on flat-top response in multiple resonator one-dimensional magnetophotonic crystals [13] and large polarization rotations in waveguide nonreciprocal Bragg systems [14][15][16].…”
