Abstract

Optical waveguides have been inscribed in periodically poled lithium niobate by femtosecond laser pulses with the multiscan technique. Second harmonic generation experiments from a fundamental wavelength of 1567 nm demonstrate that the nonlinear optical coefficient in the waveguides is preserved, yielding a conversion efficiency of 18% W-1. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
