Zusammenfassung:A device for quasi-phase-matched frequency doubling of broadband light with uncorrelated spectral phase includes a nonlinear optical material, which in turn includes a domain-reversed grating organized in a series of sections along propagation direction of the broadband light through the nonlinear optical material. Each of the sections is characterized by a respective period of the domain-reversed grating. The period within a first connected subset of the series alternates between two discrete values along the propagation direction. A method for designing the domain-reversed grating includes determining a grating function model describing an ideal nonlinear coefficient of a domain-reversed grating, and discretizing the grating function model to a manufacturable grating function having period restricted to a discrete set of manufacturable periods.
