Abstract

It is well known that bright vortex solitons are unstable in the χ2 nonlinear media due to the strong azimuthal modulation instability. To solve this problem, a quadratic (χ2) LiNbO3 ferroelectric crystal with a special kind of helical-periodically poled structure is proposed. The proposed structure is designed by embedding topological charges into the crystal with a quasi-phase matching technique. Simulation results indicate that vortex solitons containing fundamental-frequency and second-harmonic waves can robustly propagate over a distance. Two types of vortex states are obtained: double vortices state and vortex–antivortex state. The dependence of effective area, propagation constants, and maximum light intensity on the control parameters are presented. These results provide a new solution for robust transmission of bright vortex solitons in a χ2 nonlinear media.
