Abstract

Nonlinear periodically poled ridge LiNbO₃ waveguides have been fabricated on silicon substrates. Components are micromachined with a precision dicing machine and/or by grinding or polishing steps. They show efficient second harmonic generation at telecommunication wavelengths with normalized conversion reaching 600%/W in a 20mm long device. Influence of geometrical non uniformities of waveguides due to fabrication process is asserted. Components characteristics are studied notably their robustness and tunability versus temperature.
