Traditionally, bulk crystals are used for these processes, including lithium niobate (LiNbO3) and lithium tantalate (LiTaO3). However, bulk crystals face challenges, including low efficiency due to large optical mode areas and difficulty in achieving phase matching, which is essential for efficient energy transfer between interacting waves.entext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
