Abstract

There exist a variety of nonlinear-optic (NLO) interactions that enable device implementation. This chapter presents a theoretical analysis of second-order NLO interactions for traveling waves in waveguide structures. The fundamental concepts, techniques for the theoretical analysis, and the characteristics of each interaction are described in detail. The results of the analysis are discussed from the viewpoint of device design. Some results are summarized in graphic data with normalized parameters useful for designing, and guidelines and criteria for optimum design are given. NLO interactions in optical cavities will be discussed in the next chapter.KeywordsPump PowerPump WavePhase MismatchChirp RateNonlinear Phase ShiftThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
