Polarization switching in a quasi-periodic nonlinear photonic crystal

We demonstrate all-optical intensity-dependent polarization switching, based on double phase-matched cascaded processes in a quadratic nonlinear photonic quasi-crystal. The efficiency is significantly better than that of devices based on cascaded cubic nonlinearities.
