Abstract :
Summary form only given. In recent years a whole family of diode-pumped Ti,Er:LiNbO/sub 3/ waveguide lasers has been developed emitting at wavelengths around 1550 nm. Ti,Er:LiNbO/sub 3/ waveguides can be periodically poled by electric field assisted ferroelectric domain inversion. This enabled the development of a quasi-phase-matched self frequency doubling laser with simultaneous emission at the fundamental wavelength 1531 nm, and at the second harmonic wavelength 765 nm.
