Abstract

LiNbO₃ crystals were periodically polled by applying eight 300-μs electric pulses at 25.6 kV/mm in the 230-μm-thick z-cut LiNbO₃ with a 3.3-μm period Al grating pattern on the +c phase and an Al ground plane on the -c face. For the ultrashort pulses, SH efficiency is reduced significantly. The weak, nonphase-matched forward SH beam, which propagates along a path different from that for the backward SH beam because of the angled output facet, is reflected. The backward second harmonic generation (SHG) in periodically poled bulk LiNbO₃ has the maximum conversion efficiency of approximately 0.02%.
