Abstract :
To fulfill the goal of real-time spectrally decomposed wave (SDW) processing, we utilize nonlinear wave mixing processes based on three- and four-wave mixing in a second order nonlinear crystal inside the spectral processing device (SPD). The latter is achieved via cascaded second-order nonlinearities (CSN). The CSN arrangement consists of a frequency-up conversion process followed by a frequency-down conversion process satisfying the type-II non-collinear phase matching condition
