Zusammenfassung: | An electromagnetic wave generating device is provided which includes an optical waveguide including a plurality of waveguide segments such that the main lobe of a combined electromagnetic wave has a substantially single large directivity. The electromagnetic wave generating device includes the optical waveguide including a plurality of waveguide segments each of which is sandwiched between dielectrics and includes a nonlinear optical crystal. The waveguide segments are arranged such that an angle formed by the directions of propagation of light in the two adjacent waveguide segments substantially corresponds to 2 c. When ng denotes the refractive index of the nonlinear optical crystal for light and ∈eff denotes the effective relative permittivity of an assembly of the dielectrics and the waveguide segments for an electromagnetic wave, c is defined as c=cos−1 (ng/ √∈eff). |
