Abstract :
Broadband transparency, high thermal conductivity, and strong nonlinearity make gallium nitride a promising material for high power frequency conversion. We have fabricated and tested periodically oriented gallium nitride (PO-GaN) devices for quasi-phase matched (QPM) frequency conversion.
