Abstract
Based on the recent breakthroughs in oxidized AlGaAs technology, a consider able improvement in IR generation through merging of optical amplification and three-wave mixing is predicted. Amplification of one of the two input f ields is shown to strongly relax the phase-matching condition for differenc e-frequency generation in AlGaAs waveguides. This effect is potentially cru cial for the realization of an integrated semiconductor optical parametric oscillator. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
