Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we study ultra-fast, extra-broadband, high-functional, and coherent all-optical signal processing circuits employing the higher order nonlinear effects in aperiodically poled lithium niobate waveguide devices. Through the numerical analyses, fundamental experiments, experimental demonstrations, and the system experiments, we both numerically and experimentally show the possibilities of such all-optical and coherent signal processing applications.
