Abstract :
We demonstrate twin-beam parametric generation arising from the coherent locking of two resonances of a purely nonlinear lattice, implemented with hexagonally poled LiTaO3. The experiments provide a first example for the novel engineering capabilities affordable in frequency-downconversion with quadratic photonic crystals, to be exploited for novel parametric sources in classical and quantum optics.
