Abstract :
Summary form only given. This tutorial will review basic ideas of quasi phase matching (QPM) nonlinear optics, characteristics of available microstructured media, and recent device results in QPM bulk materials; and waveguide SHG, DFG, and OPOs. Opportunities in novel microstructured materials and in applications beyond sources of coherent radiation will also be discussed.
