Description
Periodically Poled Lithium Niobate chips offer a cost effective method for visible and mid-infrared frequency generation. A multi-step lithographic and electric field poling process effects a permanent change in the non-linear properties of Lithium Niobate. Using quasi-phase matching, with a selection of periods, crystal widths and lengths, PPLN offers users an alternative to dedicated frequency conversion crystals. |
