Abstract
We demonstrate experimentally second-harmonic generation in waveguides indu ced by photorefractive solitons and show that the conversion efficiency is improved considerably. These induced waveguides are flexible and can be gen erated in any crystalline direction that allows soliton formation, and thus offer broad tunability (by rotation of the crystal), which cannot exist in fabricated waveguides.
