Abstract :
Summary form only given. Here, we present our results of investigating possibility of generating a backward second harmonic (SH) wave based on a novel scheme. In this novel configuration the period of the domain structure is equal to the SH wavelength in the material. Therefore the second-order susceptibility has to be modulated spatially with the period much shorter than that achieved before.
