Abstract :
In summary, we have presented the first observation of second-harmonic generation by type-I phase matching in Bragg reflection waveguides. Second-harmonic power of 0.7muW was observed for a pump wavelength of 1587.8 nm with an average pump power of 25.2 mW. An order of magnitude enhancement between the phase matched and un-phase matched second-harmonic conversion efficiency has been observed. Conversion efficiency at the phase matched wavelengths was 1.12x10-3%.
