Abstract
Using a tunable parametric oscillator operating near 2 μm, we have observed second‐harmonic generation in a GaAs double‐heterostructure waveguide in the region of phase matching. The harmonic intensity is strongly peaked when the guide propagation constants of the TE (m=0) fundamental and TM (m=2) harmonic are equal. Away from phase matching, the characteristic effects of strong focusing in the plane of the guide are observed. These are the one‐dimensional analogs of the harmonic generation effects observed using two‐dimensional focused laser beams.Keywords
