According to one embodiment of the present invention, a
frequency-converted laser source is provided wherein the wavelength
conversion device comprises a plurality of waveguide components
comprising respective input faces positioned in an effective focal field
of the laser source. Individual ones of the waveguide components
contribute different elements to a set of distinct wavelength conversion
properties, defining a set of distinct wavelength conversion properties
attributable to the waveguide components. The set of distinct wavelength
conversion properties comprises properties representing phase matching
wavelengths of the waveguide components, spectral widths of the waveguide
components, conversion efficiency of the waveguide components, or
combinations thereof. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
