Dispersion measurement method with down conversion process

Optics 2018-07-20 v1

Abstract

Proper characterization of nonlinear crystals is essential for designing single photon sources. We show a technique for dispersion characterization of a nonlinear material by making use of phase matching in the process of parametric down conversion. Our method is demonstrated on an exemplary periodically poled potassium titanyl phosphate KTiOPO4KTiOPO_4 crystal phase-matched for 396396 nm to 532532 nm and 15501550 nm. We show a procedure to characterize the dispersion in the range of 390390 to 18001800 nm by means of only one spectrometer for the UV-visible range.
