Abstract

This paper shows experimental results on geometrically-tunable self-stabilization effect in Rhodamine-6G dye. A crossing-laser-beams scheme has been used in the experiment in order to obtain wide-tuneability of the proposed structure. Obtained results demonstrate radiation power stabilization with up to 175 mW at the input. The proposed self-stabilization scheme can be used as a power-stabilized light source for metrology applications, and integrated circuits with nonlinear optical elements.

Keywords: Nonlinear optics.
