Abstract
A light wavelength converter comprising a substrate that is made of a material with a non-linear optical effect, and a loop-shaped optical waveguide that is formed on the substrate, whereby a second harmonic wave or a sum wave emanates from a fundamental wave that has been propagated in a specific area of the optical waveguide and part of the fundamental wave that has not been converted to the second harmonic wave or the sum wave is returned to the specific area of the optical waveguide, so that a fundamental wave with a relatively low output can be efficiently converted to a second harmonic wave and a high-output second harmonic wave can be obtained.
