In this work second-harmonic generation by quasi-phase matching (QPM) in Zn
-diffused periodically poled lithium niobate channel waveguides is presente
d. A stable TM --> TE conversion by QPM has been found. The results are in
good accordance with theoretical estimations obtained by the phase-matching
condition, either for the polarisation character of the second-harmonic wa
ve as well as for the spectral range, taking into account the periodicity o
f the domains.
