We describe a method for designing such SRO-NPC for efficient collinear third-harmonic generation (THG) at arbitrary wavelength. The method was used to prepare a LiNbO3 sample in which THG at 526.7 nm with 12% efficiency was achieved.Keywords: Nonlinear photonic crystals; Short range orders; Short-range ordered; Third-harmonic generation; Two-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystal; Electron optics; Harmonic generation; Lasers; Optical frequency conversion; Quantum electronics; Photonic crystals20092016-02-24
