Abstract:It is well known that bright vortex solitons are unstable in the χ2 nonlinear media due to the strong azimuthal modulation instability. To solve this problem, a quadratic (χ2) LiNbO3 ferroelectric crystal with a special kind of helical-periodically poled structure is proposed. The proposed structure is designed by embedding topological charges into the crystal with a quasi-phase matching technique. Simulation results indicate that vortex solitons containing fundamental-frequency and second-harmonic waves can r… Show more
