Funded Activity Summary

Microengineering of nonlinear optical media with ultrafast light. This project aims to demonstrate a new technique to modify nonlinear optical response of ferroelectrics and nonlinear semiconductors on the microscale. This all-optical technique employs the interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with matter to alter its nonlinear properties and is reinforced with our own method of Cherenkov frequency generation for in situ monitoring of the nonlinearity engineering process. The technique offers a versatile approach to fabricate nonlinear photonic structures for the application in novel light sources, optical signal processing and pulse compression. Innovative ideas emanating from the project have great potential for commercialisation and will enhance Australia's reputation in the field of nonlinear photonics.
