Parametric interactions in the organic salt 4-N,N-dimethylamino-4′-N′- methyl-stilbazolium tosylate at telecommunication wavelengths

We show that the organic salt 4-N,N-dimethylamino-4′-N′-methyl-stilbazolium tosylate, originally developed for electro-optic applications, is also a very interesting material for phase-matched parametric interactions such as frequency-doubling and optic parametric oscillation in the near infrared. These favorable properties are due to the large off-diagonal element d26 which gives measured effective phase-matchable nonlinear optical coefficients of deff=31±5 and 15±3 pm/V at the telecommunication wavelengths of λ=1313 and 1535 nm, respectively.
