Abstract

A method for implementing quasi-phase matching for nonlinear difference-frequency generation in planar waveguides with a modulated permittivity profile is analyzed. For a pump wave power equal to 10 W, the difference-frequency wave power in the 11–24 μm wavelength range can be as high as 0.6 μW for edge output and 0.12 mW/mm2 for vertical output.
