G. Imeshev et al., LATERAL PATTERNING OF NONLINEAR FREQUENCY-CONVERSION WITH TRANSVERSELY VARYING QUASI-PHASE-MATCHING GRATINGS, Optics letters, 23(9), 1998, pp. 673-675
We demonstrate control of the nonlinear conversion across a beam profi
le by using periodically poled lithium niobate with a laterally nonuni
form quasi-phase-matching grating. ks a representative experiment, gen
eration of a flat-top second-harmonic team is demonstrated. (C) 1998 O
