  • Publication number: 20240152025
    Abstract: In a nonlinear optical element, wavelength conversion efficiency is degraded by the heat generation caused when high-intensity converted waves are generated. Therefore, the present invention provides a wavelength conversion optical element that includes a periodically poled waveguide. In the wavelength conversion optical element, the periodically poled waveguide includes: a core that performs wavelength conversion on a fundamental wave that has entered the entrance end, and emits a converted wave from the exit end; and a cladding that covers the periphery of the core, and the structure of the element gradually changes so as to achieve quasi phase matching from the entrance end toward the exit end in the periodically poled waveguide.
