Abstract
Ridged channel waveguides in KNbO3 were fabricated by a technique usin g He+ ion implantation, photolithographic masking, and subsequent Arion sputtering. A continuous-wave second-harmonic output power of 14 m W at 438 nm was obtained with an in-coupled fundamental power of 340 m W in a 0.73 cm long waveguide. Phase matching was provided by material birefringence without need of periodic poling. (C) 1998 American Inst itute of Physics. [S0003-6951(98)01719-7].
