Abstract :
A proposal and the result of the analysis of integrated coherent infrared generator (ICIG) which generates the difference infrared frequency by nonlinear optical mixing in the optical waveguide configuration operated at room temperature are presented. The ICIG has a potentiality of monolithic integration with coherent optical semiconductor sources.
