Abstract :
Summary form only given. Optical frequency division by 3 is a critical step in realizing optical frequency counting in ultrahigh precision measurements. We report the efficient implementation of a 3:1 frequency divider by two back-to-back difference-frequency mixing (DFM) interactions using a double-grating structure in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN).
