Abstract
A method of analysing passive surface-emitting second-harmonic generat ors is presented. The analysis takes into account multiple reflections of the second-harmonic light that occur at material interfaces within the device structure. Calculations are performed to investigate the p roperties of AlGaAs/GaAs coherent green surface-emitting generators. T he effects that substrate orientation have on the efficiency of these devices is discussed in detail. Enhancements to efficiency brought abo ut by the application of impedance matching considerations are discuss ed.
