Abstract

Here we describe a systematic interferometric investigation of the influence of the wavevector-mismatch on cascading. Titanium indiffused LiNbO₃ waveguides are used because their superior optical quality and the detailed knowledge of their fabrication and characterization make them promising candidates for the first application of cascading in all-optical data processing
