Abstract

Summary form only given. Here, we propose novel type of devices that simultaneously perform two functions: frequency doubling and optical power limiting from different output ports based on resonant second-order susceptibilities in ZnSe-ZnS or AlGaAs-AlGaAs multilayer, or ZnSe-ZnMnSe or GaAs-AlGaAs asymmetric quantum well structures incorporating quarterwave stacks for resonant enhancement
