Abstract

We report the experimental demonstration of efficient second-harmonic generation by splicing optically poled fiber segments. A device made from five segments each 20 cm-long exhibits, at a fundamental average power of 4.2 mW, a maximum increase of 5.5 in the conversion efficiency with respect to a single 20 cm poled fiber, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 5.4%. For any considered fundamental power, the conversion efficiency at the output of a five-segment device is larger than the efficiency of a single poled fiber having the same length.
