title = "Second-harmonic generation in rf sputter-deposited AIN thin films",
abstract = "The optical second harmonic generation (SHG) in AlN thin films was investigated. AlN thin films were grown on sapphire substrates by rf magnetron sputtering. SHG measurements were carried out using Q switched YAG laser to determine magnitude of second order electric susceptibility. Frequency dependence was determined using tunable radiation from an optical parametric amplifier. The magnitude of χ(2) was found to increase as the wavelength decreases. The refractive index was observed to be higher than the sapphire substrates which allows the use of AlN as optical waveguides.",
