Wavelength-uncritical second-harmonic generation in multilayer waveguides

Opt Lett. 1993 Nov 15;18(22):1916-8. doi: 10.1364/ol.18.001916.

Abstract

A four-layer waveguide structure for second-harmonic generation is described in which phase matching is obtained through modal dispersion. It is shown that, for realistic material parameters, it should be possible to obtain a frequency-doubling bandwidth of greater than 100 nm by proper choice of layer thicknesses.
