Abstract: We report the experimental demonstration of spatial nonlinear beam displacement caused by an interface between periodically modulated and uniform quadratic nonlinearity. We observe intensity- and phase-mismatch-dependent spatial beam displacement at 1548 run in lithium niobate waveguides. The device has the to provide a soliton-emission-based, ultrafast all-optical switch. (C) 2003 Optical Society of America.
