Abstract
A nonlinear fiber-optic device including a single mode optical fiber having a longitudinal axis, for transmitting light therethrough of a given wavelength, and having a core and a cladding layer, a portion of the cladding layer being removed until a remaining portion of the cladding layer has a thickness of about one half of the given wavelength or less, and a nonlinear optical crystal having an optical axis, in contact with said remaining portion of the cladding layer, the optical axis of the crystal being substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the fiber.
