The power scaling of continuous-wave (CW) second harmonic generation (SHG) in a MgO:periodically poledlithium niobite(PPLN) ridge waveguide is investigated. The nonlinear coefficient and propagation loss factors of the MgO:PPLN waveguide are verified for future reference. The MgO:PPLN waveguide structure is determined according to a practical fiber coupling configuration, as well as the theoretical model of output power characteristics. Utilizing the designed MgO:PPLN waveguide, the 775 nm SHG power successfully reaches up to 4.02W at an incident power of 7W with overall conversion efficiency of 58%. Finally, a compact all-fiber waveguide conversion module is demonstrated for verifying the feasibility of commercial applications. ©2021 Optical Society of America
