Abstract: We observed tunable bi-directional emission of spatial solitons at a quadratically nonlinear interface in periodically poled lithium niobate planar waveguides. The interface consists of the boundary between two quasi-phase-matched regions with a different poling period. We show the intensity and phase-mismatch (temperature or wavelength) dependence of the phenomena. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
