  • Abstract
    Tunable temperature-independent triple-idler broadcasting of a signal into selective WDM channels to cover whole C and L bands is demonstrated utilizing cascaded second-order interactions in a 20-mm-long step-chirped PPLN with an engineered ~28-nm-wide type-0 second-harmonic bandwidth.
