Abstract

Theoretical analysis of resonant waveguide SHG devices is presented. Mathematical expressions for SHG interaction in waveguides for arbitrary initial conditions were derived and applied to the analysis. Dependences of SHG efficiency on pump amplitude of singly and doubly resonant devices with various cavity mirror reflectivities, phase-mismatch, and propagation losses are compared with that of traveling-wave devices. It is shown that in resonant SHG devices much higher efficiency is obtained for low pumping power than in traveling-wave device. It is found, for the first time, that complete conversion can be attained for a finite input power in the doubly resonant devices. However, the efficiency is very sensitive to the propagation losses
