Periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) is a highly efficient medium for nonlinear wavelength conversion processes. PPLN is used for frequency doubling, difference frequency generation, sum frequency generation, optical parametric oscillation, and other nonlinear processes. PPLN Waveguide refers to a waveguide that is made of a nonlinear optical crystal material called periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN). PPLN waveguides are designed to guide and manipulate light, taking advantage of the unique nonlinear optical properties of lithium niobate. By manufacturing a waveguide structure into a PPLN crystal, the interacting light is concentrated in a small area, increasing the power density significantly.
Global key players of PPLN Waveguide include NTT Innovative Devices, Covesion, HC Photonics, etc. The top three players hold a share about 85%. North America is the largest market, and has a share about 37%, followed by Asia-Pacific and Europe with share 30% and 24%, separately. In terms of product type, Proton Exchanged Waveguide is the largest segment, occupied for a share of 46%. In terms of application, Laser Radar is the largest field with a share about 35 percent.
