Abstract

We report the observation of significant enhancement of one-step third-harmonic generation in a one-dimensional photonic crystal pumped by a near-infrared laser beam tuned to the low-frequency edge of the first photonic band gap. The third-harmonic phase matching can be controlled by changing the angle of incidence of the fundamental radiation, allowing tunability of the third-harmonic wavelength. The observed phenomenon was modeled theoretically using the transfer-matrix method. The enhancement is attributed to the combined action of phase-matching between the pump and harmonic waves and pump-field localization within the photonic crystal.
