Abstract

We studied the propagation of the second-harmonic (SH) wave in a quasi-phase-matching (QPM) medium with a slanted nonlinear grating. By solving the electromagnetic boundary value problem for the SH wave, we derived the propagation law for the SH wave, which can be interpreted as a diffraction phenomenon. Such interpretation was supported by a series of SH generation experiments with a periodically-poled lithium niobate crystal with a slanted QPM grating.
