Abstract

Periodically poled lithium niobate crystal fiber (PPLNCF) has great potential to be used as tunable blue/green light source as well as wavelength converter in optical communications. Using the laser-heated pedestal growth method, PPLNCF was fabricated by an in-situ electric-field induced micro-swing poling technique. Its growth, cladding, and optical characterization will be discussed.
