Abstract :
Recent progress achieved with integrated optical devices exploiting quasi-phasematched second order nonlinear interactions in periodically poled Ti:LiNbO3 waveguide structures is reported. Wavelength conversion, parametric amplification, multiplexing, and switching are demonstrated as examples of ultra-fast all-optical signal processing in the 1.5-mum wavelength range for transparent optical networks
