We describe a wavelength conversion experiment (generation of a pulse at the wavelength λp - Δλ from a signal at λp+Δλ under the action of a pump at λp) performed through cascaded second-order process in a lithium niobate channel waveguide. With a 58-mm-long Ti diffused channel waveguide, λp=1.1 μ m (the wavelength of phase matching for the first step of sh generation), Δλ of several nanometers and 20 ps pulse duration, wavelength conversion with unit efficiency is obtained with a pump pulse energy of the order of 102 pJ. The experimental results are successfully interpreted by making use of modal analysis and solving the appropriate nonlinear equations.
