The state of the art of quasi phase matched integrated optical parametric generators and oscillators is reviewed. The core of these devices is a periodically poled Ti:LiNbO3 waveguide of propagation losses down to 0.03 dB/cm and a length up to 180 mm. These properties enable the development of efficient, tuneable, compact light sources for the mid infrared (2700 nm < λs,i < 3500 nm)spectral range.
Keywords: Nonlinear optics; parametric frequency conversion; lithium niobate; quasi-phase matching; optical parametric fluorescence; optical parametric oscillation.
