Abstract
Abstract A method of adaptively varying and locking a wavelength of high power infrared laser diode for use in a blue laser using second harmonic generation. The method including the steps of: forming a pattern for forming a periodic domain inverted area on a substrate of a non-linear medium; performing proton-exchange and quick heat-treatment for the substrate on which the pattern is formed to thereby form the periodic domain inverted area having predetermined period and width; forming a straight optical waveguide and a segmented optical waveguide, in the direction perpendicular to the periodic domain inverted area; and vacuum-evaporating an insulating buffer layer on the substrate where the periodic domain inverted area and the straight and segmented optical waveguides are formed and forming a metal electrode on the insulating buffer layer on the upper portion of the segmented optical waveguide to thereby execute polishing end facet and AR coating.
