Abstract
The efficiency of second-harmonic generation (SHG) induced by an exter nally applied periodic DC electric field was investigated. A finite el ement method was used to find the static electric field due to differe nt interdigitated electrode structures. The resulting fields were used to calculate the overlap integrals which determine the SHG efficiency in an optical waveguide. The results show that there are reasonable d ifferences in SHG efficiencies for the structures investigated.
