Abstract
The nonlinear optical material LiNbO3is transparent over the wide spectral range 0.35-4 µm. Due to recent advances in producing periodically poled LiNbO3 crystals, applications based on quasi-phasematched (QPM) conversion effects such as second-harmonic generation [1-3] and optical parametric oscillation [4] have become possible.
