Full description

The National Research Council Canada has a requirement for the purchase of a 2×1 periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide mixer which will be used by the Photonics Devices group in a new experimental setup for the generation of squeezed states of light. The module will operate as an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) designed to combine two optical wavelengths inside a nonlinear integrated waveguide structure and amplify the signal wavelength (2x1 configuration). The waveguide mixer is a type of conversion module that enables high efficiency frequency mixing while offering compact size, low insertion loss and high stability. This OPA capability is required for our advanced optical communication, sensing and quantum photonic applications.
