ABSTRACT:
A device for doubling the frequency of a light wave and having a satisfactory waveguide action is obtained in a simple manner by providing, in a nonlinear optical material 11, periodic domains 12 having a reduced second-order susceptibility and an increased refractive index relative to the nonlinear optical material by means of proton exchange or proton implantation. By means of a heat treatment, the refractive index of the material in the periodic domains is reduced to a value which is less than 0.10 higher than that of the nonlinear optical material, thus obtaining a low degree of light scattering.
