Abstract
Abstract A fiber wavelength modulator device which emits a secondary harmonic component by Cerenkov radiation, including a core being a single crystal of a non-linear optical material and a cladding being composed of glass, wherein the relative difference between the core and the cladding has a refraction index with respect to an incident beam, of at lesat 0.015.
