Abstract
We report wavelength conversion within the 1.5-mu m telecommunications band based on difference-frequency generation in periodically poled l ithium niobate waveguides with integrated coupling structures. A conve rsion efficiency of -7 dB and a normalized efficiency of 260%/W are de monstrated. Static tests show that the conversion bandwidth is 72 nm a nd the conversion efficiency is constant over the 20-dB range of input powers. tested. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
