Thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) based frequency doublers have widely been recognized as an essential component for both classical and quantum optical communications.

Optical transport capacities have grown significantly in the last decade to meet increased demands on communications networks. This growth has been achieved both by increases individual channel rates, which are based time division multiplexing (TDM), and counts, through use of dense wavelength (DWDM). Yet increasing optical capacity alone is insufficient scale network; underlying data needs be delivered from numerous geographically diverse originating locations similarly terminating...
