Abstract :
This study shows that 2D nonlinear photonic crystals (NPCs) can be designed to support fourth harmonic generation (FHG) cascaded processes, which have bandwidths in excess of 60 nm. These crystals should find applications in areas such as frequency conversion of ultra-short pulses and wavelength tolerant designs.
