Abstract
D-shape silica fibres have been periodically poled at an elevated temp erature by applying high voltage via a patterned electrode deposited o n the plane side. The resulting nonlinear grating of 25 mu m period, u niform over the whole 1.8cm length, has been used for quasi-phase-matc hed second harmonic generation. With a mode-locked laser as a fundamen tal source, blue powers up to similar to 76 mu W have been generated a t similar to 422nm with an average conversion efficiency of similar to 0.22%.
