title = "Highly mode-selective quantum frequency conversion in a slab waveguide",
abstract = "We analyze sum-frequency generation (SFG) in a χ(2) slab waveguide with the goal of achieving a single spatial-mode operation. We first develop Greens function formalism for the SFG equations and then perform singular-value decomposition (SVD) of the Greens function. By adjusting the spatial profile of the pump, we manipulate the SVD spectrum to maximize the up-conversion of one signal mode while minimizing the up-conversion of all others, which opens a possibility of realizing a spatial-mode-selective quantum frequency converter for future optical communications.",
