Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve conversion efficiency by constituting a resonator including a non-linear optical crystal. CONSTITUTION:The device is provided with the non-linear optical crystal plate 2 having a periodic structure of reversing polarization 1 in which a polarization reversing region is formed throughout the thickness of the plate and the resonator containing the nonlinear optical crystal plate 2 is constituted. Thus, since phase matching is surely performed, a so-called bulk-type SHG(a second harmonic generator) with a high conversion efficiency is constituted. Since total reflection is generated by forming the principal planes 2a and 2b of the non-linear optical crystal 2 for optical waveguiding into parallel planes or a fundamental wave is made to propagate over comparatively a long distance by crystallizing the reflecting plane while the guided light satisfies a pseudo phase-matching condition by means of a periodic structure of reversing polarization 1, the distance of non-linear interaction is extended and the conversion efficiency of the second harmonic is increased.
