Abstract
An optical component (7) is disclosed in which the frequency of electromagnetic radiation is increased and which comprises a non-linear optical waveguide (11 ) which is provided on a supporting material (9). The field distributions of the fundamental wave and the frequency-increased wave can be made to overlap by providing a satellite layer (15) having a high refractive index on at least one side of the non-linear optical waveguide (11), so that the efficiency of the frequency is high. The invention also relates to an optoelectronic element (1) for increasing the frequency of electromagnetic radiation, comprising a frequency-increasing element in the form of such a component (7).
