LiNbO3 waveguide first-order quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic gener
ation devices for ultraviolet light generation were fabricated by appl
ying voltage for the first time. Ultraviolet light of 383nm wavelength
was obtained with a domain-inverted grating with 2.0 mu m period. A h
igh output of 1.9mW and a high normalised efficiency of 60%/W were obt
ained with a 3mm interaction length.
