Figure 3.15: neff difference in waveguides<br />
shifted phasematching contours (Figure 3.18). The differences in effective refraction<br />
index increase significantly for lower frequencies (Figure 3.15). For PDC this has<br />
higher influence on the signal and idler modes than on the pump modes (Figure<br />
3.15).<br />
With the expansion of our model to higher order spatial modes, modal overlap<br />
between signal, idler and pump modes has to be taken into account. It will limit the<br />
efficiency of this ”higher order” phasematching. The transverse spatial dimensions<br />
of the electric fields have been neglected in the prior derivation of PDC (Eq. 3.23).<br />
