In a singlecrystal lithium niobate thin film planar waveguide of less than 1 μm thickness, we achieve type I and type II mode phase-matching conditions simultaneously for this thin film planar waveguide. Finally, by employing the mode phase matching of e t e → e with d_（33） at 1018 nm, we successfully achieve a green second-harmonic wave output with the conversion efficiency of 0.12%∕（W·cm^2）, which verifies one of our simulation results. The rich mode phase matching for three-wave mixing in a thin film planar waveguide may provide a potential application in on-chip frequency upconversions for integrated photonic and quantum devices.展开更多
