Abstract

Barium titanate has recently been suggested as a possible candidate for use in periodically poled optical frequency conversion devices. We report refractive index measurements which are critical to periodically poled device designers and present quasi phase matching loci which can be used to design an optical parametric oscillator in periodically poled barium titanate
