Abstract

Summary from only given. Quasi-phase-matched wavelength conversion in orientation patterned GaAs (OP-GaAs) is a useful method to create coherent long-wave IR radiation. GaAs offers wide transparency range between 0.9 and 17 /spl mu/m, low absorption, high thermal conductivity and large nonlinear susceptibility.
