Abstract :
Summary form only given. We have observed nearly complete, (99%) pump depletion in single pass SHG in an annealed proton exchanged waveguide formed in PPLN. Pump depletion is examined as a function of pump power launched into the waveguide, along with a calculation using the same values of propagation losses and normalized efficiency used in the low power fit. Good agreement with theory is observed, with pump depletion reaching 99% at an input power of 2.8 W.
