Abstract :
In this communication, we report on efficient second harmonic generation (SHG) telecom wavelengths in an optimised buried waveguide made by reverse proton exchange (RPE) in 2D hexagonally poled LiNbO3 (HexLN). We also have analysed the response of the HexLN device for the non-symmetric case, in which the two SHG processes, quasi-phase-matched by different reciprocal lattice vectors of the HexLN pattern.
