ABSTRACT:
A wavelength conversion element includes a substrate made of LiTaO.sub.3 of non-linear medium, a three-dimensional waveguide formed in the substrate and a second harmonic generation portion for defining a change in refractive index in the waveguide with a period .LAMBDA. and generating a second harmonic of a fundamental wave introduced into the wave guide, where .LAMBDA.=2 m.pi./{.beta.(2.omega.)-2.beta.(.omega.)}, m is a natural number, .omega. is a frequency of fundamental harmonic, .beta.(.omega.) is a propagation constant of the fundamental wave, and .beta.(2.omega.) is a propagation constant of second harmonic.
