ABSTRACTThe phenomenon of second harmonic generation has been studied from the earliest days of nonlinear optics.[l] To date the most impressive results in terms of conversion efficiency for as low an input power as possible have been obtained in channel waveguides made from inorganic materials.[2] However, when their second order nonlinearities (10s of pm/V) are compared with those of organic materials (10s → 100s pmn/V), it is clear that organic materials should eventually produce much better harmonic conversion efficiencies.

AbstractModal Dispersion Phase Matching appears to be currently much better adapted to parametric mixing in polymeric material waveguides than Quasi Phase Matching. For second harmonic generation at telecommunication wavelengths, using organic materials should allow better performance than with ferroelectric crystals. Promising results are expected in view of theoretical expectations and continuously improving experimental past and current results.
