Abstract
We report on a two-dimensional nonlinear photonic quasicrystal (2DNPQC) constructed by the generalized dual-grid method. It can simultaneously phase match three nonlinear frequency conversions. Optical properties of the 2DNPQC are investigated and a set of red–yellow–green laser are realized. The wave propagating and temperature detuning characteristics were studied theoretically. The scheme has potential application in fields such as quantum optics.
