摘要：

We have fabricated a periodically poled ridge waveguide using a liquid phase epitaxy (LPE)-grown Zn:LiNbO3 substrate. The waveguide can confine both the transverse electric and transverse magnetic mode. Its strong resistance to photorefractive damage enables stable parametric amplification. We demonstrate polarization-independent wavelength conversion using polarization diversity in a single waveguide.
