Abstract

We demonstrated that nonstoichiometric defect control of photorefractive crystals is of key importance for the improvement of their properties and of device performance. Here we report periodic poling of near-stoichiometric MgO-doped lithium niobate (PP Mg:SLN) and the characteristics of quasiphase-matched second harmonic violet light generation in PP Mg:SLN pumped by a Q-switched Ti:sapphire laser.
