Abstract
Nonlinear photonic crystals (NPCs) are microstructures characterized by a spatially modulated second-order nonlinear coefficient that have been extensively used for the generation and beam-shaping of coherent light at new frequencies. NPCs for asymmetric optical transmission have a significant impact on novel and multifunction photonic devices. However, nonreciprocal NPCs capable of completely independent asymmetric holographic imaging for the opposite propagation directions have not been reported. Here, we propose a holographic combiner for a different independent image generation at the second-harmonic (SH) wavelength when illuminated from opposite sides of NPCs. The design of the holographic combiner is based on a 3D nonlinear detour phase holography and an orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing nonlinear holography. This work achieves completely independent asymmetric holographic imaging at the SH frequency by using NPCs, which may have potential applications in classical and quantum optical devices.
