Résumé

Nonlinear quadratic waveguides are key components to obtain efficient frequency conversion. In this paper we present the performances of highly multimode periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) ridge waveguides for high power CW SHG are presented. We report the generation of 1 W of second harmonic on the fundamental guided mode with a conversion efficiency of 56% at telecom wavelengths. A stable nonlinear process is obtained despite use of an undoped congruent LiNbO3 crystal. The input damage threshold of the ridge waveguide is found to set the maximum usable power.
