Abstract
We report on the fabrication and characterization of composite planar waveg uides for frequency doubling. Modal dispersion phase matching is obtained f or TM, fundamental and (TM1, TM2) harmonic wavelength. The experimental con version efficiency was eta = 0.45% with an SH wavelength of 0.516 mu m for TM0omega-TM22 omega mode conversion. The phase-matching condition can be fu lfilled by adjusting the diffusion time of ion-exchange and the thickness o f the polymer layer. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
