  text: High-fidelity periodic poling over long lengths is required for robust, quasi-phase-matched
    second-harmonic generation using the fundamental, quasi-TE polarized waveguide
    modes in a thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) waveguide. Here, a shallow-etched
    ridge waveguide is fabricated in x-cut magnesium oxide doped TFLN and is poled
    accurately over 5 mm. The high fidelity of the poling is demonstrated over long
    lengths using a non-destructive technique of confocal scanning second-harmonic
    microscopy. We report a second-harmonic conversion efficiency of up to 939 %/W
    (length-normalized conversion efficiency 3757 %/Wcm²), measured at telecommunications
    wavelengths. The device demonstrates a narrow spectral linewidth (1 nm) and can
    be tuned precisely with a tuning characteristic of 0.1 nm/°C, over at least 40
    °C without measurable loss of efficiency.
