Abstract :
We have demonstrated a variety of quasi-phase matched frequency conversion devices in LiNbO3 waveguides. Development of models describing the material fabrication processes used for domain inversion and waveguide fabrication allow rapid device demonstration and optimization. More sophisticated quasi-phasematched optical frequency devices will be demonstrated in the near future
