Résumé

Birefringence phase-matched third-harmonic generation at 1594 nm is performed for the first time in a KTiOPO4 single crystal micrometric ridge waveguide. The energy conversion efficiency reaches 3.4% for a pump energy as low as 2 mu J over a pulse duration of 15 ps at a repetition rate of 10 Hz. Strong agreements between theory and experiments for both phase-matching and conversion efficiency is obtained, which let us envision future triple photon generation quantum experiments.
