Advanced Material Processing for Integrated-Optic Frequency Doubling Systems

摘要

This purpose of this two year program has been to investigate novel materialsprocessing techniques for the purpose of producing highly efficient, nonlinear waveguide frequency doublers compatible with the integration of compact semi-conductor sources. As yet, practical, direct conversion, semiconductor sources of blue-light, have still to be proven, thereby motivating the research of waveguide second-harmonic generation, (SHG).
