Abstract

A laser frequency converter includes a first substrate material forming a first planar surface that includes a first nonlinear material situated along a portion of the first planar surface of the first substrate material to perform a frequency conversion of a laser signal. The frequency converter includes a second substrate material forming a second planar surface and separated by a distance from the first planar surface of the first substrate material. The second substrate material includes a second nonlinear material situated along a portion of the second planar surface of the second substrate material to perform the frequency conversion of the laser signal in conjunction with the first non-linear material. The second nonlinear material is offset from the first nonlinear material along an axis of propagation for the laser signal.
