Date May 3, 1990.A waveguide in optically nonlinear materials for quasi-phase-matched frequency conversion of electromagnetic waves, arranged in a crystal substrate. The waveguide includes a periodically alternating crystal orientation necessary for quasi-phase-matching. The crystal orientation is provided in the form of a periodically domain inverted structure of ferroelectric domains, with reversed crystal orientation in relation to intermediate regions located between the domains. The domain structure is achieved by use of a periodic mask structure applied to the surface of the substrate in combination with a subsequent heat treatment of the substrate. |
