Theoretical analysis of electromagnetic field distribution and Cerenkov second harmonic generation conversion efficiency based on lithium niobate ion-implanted channel waveguide

Abstract

Cerenkov type second harmonic generation (CSHG) is proposed in ion-implanted Z-cut lithium niobate (LiNbO3) channel waveguides. We have obtained exact analytical solutions for the field distribution and the power of second-harmonic waves. Conditions for attaining higher conversion efficiency are discussed on the basis of numerical calculations.
