Abstract
A basic mirrored counterpropagating quasi-phase-matched device is studied w ith a pulsed input fundamental plane wave using the method of lines and the relaxation method. Several examples are given under varying spatial pulse length to device length ratios. An approximate upper bound on the device le ngth is established from this study for practical pulsed applications; the largest usable length is approximately the same as the spatial length of th e pulse.
