Methods to optimize the generation of ultrashort second harmonic pulses are investigated. The goal is to maximize the conversion efficiency while maintaining a short pulse. The first method exploits the effects of anomalous-dispersion phase-matching. In a nonlinear polymer we show that an optimum concentration of chromophore exists that maximizes the conversion efficiency without causing unacceptable pulse-spreading. In the second method we use unipolar and bipolar quasi-phase-matched (QPM) structures to increase the nonlinear interaction length. Unipolar and bipolar QPM structures not only provide significant enhancement in ultrashort pulse second harmonic generation but also reduce the pulse distortion.
