Abstract :
Summary form only given. We present here the results of a direction comparision of the 2nd harmonic generation in a one and two dimensional nonlinear periodic crystal. The periodically poled LiNbO/sub 3/ crystal used had the same period as the 2D crystal and had a length of 12 mm. These results were taken using a high power nanosecond pump source based on a sequence of cascaded fibre amplifiers operating near 1533 nm.
