Abstract
A comparative study in terms of peak efficiency and 3 dB bandwidth is made on four different double tapered configurations of isotropic semiconductor material using total internal reflection quasi phase matching based second harmonic generation with due consideration to the optical losses (surface roughness, Goos–Hänchen shift and absorption loss). When the destructive interference effect due to the nonlinear law of reflection has been incorporated, heavy drop has been observed in the peak efficiency with GaAs and ZnSe as the slab material, which can be compensated by the introduction of fractional scenario on replacing the material by ZnTe. Finally the temperature tuning of the centre wavelength corresponding to peak second harmonic conversion efficiency has also been suggested..
