Abstract: A method and devices for obtaining optimized output harmonic frequency light at a plurality of peak frequencies from a nonlinear ferroelectric generator optical device by controlling the overall temperature of sections along the length of the optical structure and differentially applying external energy to the sections, with greater energy input near the input end than near the output end each section.
