Abstract

Amplitude squeezing of the second-harmonic generation in periodically poled quasi-phase-matched devices is analyzed with consideration for errors of the domain length. We show that the amount of squeezing is a complex function of the phase mismatch and of the input power and that it is practically impossible to maintain the perfect quasi-phase matching for an arbitrary input power. For evaluation of the availability of squeezing, we propose a contour map of squeezing that can visualize the tolerance of squeezing for the phase mismatch. It is shown that the effect of domain length error depends on the type of the error; the random duty-cycle error, where the mean domain period is precisely fixed, does not alter the squeezing performance, whereas the random period error, which fluctuates during the domain period, severely alters tuning characteristics. The available amount of squeezing is predicted to be determined by the tuning stability of the device.
