Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate a domain inversion crystal structure to study the cascaded three-wave mixing process in a two peak Stark-chirped rapid adiabatic passage. We have achieved efficient wavelength conversion, which can be performed in intuitive order and counterintuitive order. The requirement of crystal is reduced and the flexibility of structure design is improved. When the conversion wavelength is fixed, increasing the coupling coefficient between the two peaks can reduce the intensity of the intermediate wavelength while maintaining high conversion efficiency. Compared with the cascaded wavelength conversion process based on stimulated Raman rapid adiabatic passage, the two-peak Stark-chirped rapid adiabatic passage has a larger convertible wavelength bandwidth. This scheme provides a theoretical basis for obtaining mid-infrared laser source via flexible crystal structure.
