The invention relates to an arrangement and a method for efficient, non-linear light conversion. The object of the present invention of specifying an arrangement for efficient, non-linear light conversion, which simultaneously optimally fulfills the local conversion rate, the interaction scale, and the dispersive properties, is achieved in that the arrangement is provided in the form of a component, which comprises an optical waveguide or an optical fiber with or without cavities, wherein said arrangement consists of fiber cladding substrate or waveguide substrate (IV) with an adapted geometry, which defines the light-guiding properties of the fiber mode with designed dispersion properties (VI), and wherein the waveguide or the core carries a grown, atomically-thin layer of transition metal dichalcogenides in the form of crystallites, wherein this layer completely or partially covers the waveguide or the core.
