Abstract
This talk will describe recent developments in the field of periodically poled (PP) ferroelectrics for nonlinear optical applications. Particular emphasis will be put on the new materials like stoichiometric lithium niobate (SLN) and stoichiometric lithium tantalate (SLT). A comparison of the optical damage characteristics of various bulk and PP nonlinear materials will be presented, studied using a common-path interferometer. Some new components based on PP-materials will also be presented that potentially could lead to new types of devices and lasers.
