摘要
The work presented here deals with the design and fabrication of the linear grating on a LiNbO3 planar waveguide to obtain an efficient second harmonic generation operating in Cerenkov configuration. The lithium niobate is a nonlinear material particularly suitable for photonic applications where the waveguide can be efficiently fabricated by means of proton exchange. The grating pattern, with a period of 350 nm, covers a square of 1.5-mm sides. The pattern has been fabricated by means of electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching.
