Description/Abstract

We present experimental results showing very strong self-phase modulation of subpicosecond pulses in PPLN. We examine the effect that this has on the efficiency of frequency conversion and estimate the effective nonlinear refractive index to be 3 orders of magnitude greater than in silica.
