Abstract :
Reviews the work of the author´s group in this area including the most recent results. Topics covered include: periodically domain inverted gratings for quasi-phase matching (QPM); a prototype difference frequency generation (DFG) wavelength converter; a polarization independent converter; ultrafast optical-signal processing devices; a sum frequency generation (SFG) sampling device; a cascaded SHG-DFG gate switch; and an integrated SFG interferometer gate switch
