Optical switching using second order nonlinearities

Abstract

It is shown that single-step phase-matched parametric conversion, seeded with small amounts of second harmonic (SH), can yield nonlinear pump phase-shifts, and that the output state is extremely sensitive to the phase of the injected SH.
