Abstract
High voltage and liquid electrodes were used for periodic poling of li thium niobate. A sample with a period of 6.80 mu m was used for first- order frequency doubling of 1064nm Q-switched Nd:YAG light with an ave rage power conversion of 55%, implying greater than 90% power conversi on at the peak of the pulse. The effective nonlinear coefficient for b oth Q-switched and continuous-wave measurements was similar to 15pm/V.
