以一定重复频率工作的KTP倍频效率的演化规律

基于导带电子密度和材料的有效介电函数的表达式,推导了KTP晶体对532 nm光波的吸收系数. 对比研究了不同峰值功率密度和重复频率下KTP晶体的导带电子密度和532 nm吸收系数的演化规律,以及倍频转换效率的演化规律. 结果表明,随着导带电子密度的增加,KTP晶体532 nm吸收系数随之增加,其倍频转换效率随之减小;当基频光入射功率密度一定时,不同重复频率脉冲作用引起的导带电子密度存在积累效应,导致KTP晶体532 nm透过率及倍频转换效率均随着作用时间的增加呈指数形式变化,随着脉冲重复频率的增加其积累效果更加明显,但随着作用时间的增加,导带电子密度、吸收系数均趋于同一稳定值. 关键词： KTP晶体 灰迹 倍频转换效率

A partly periodically poled KTiOPO(4) (KTP) crystal has been designed to integrate quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation (QPM SHG) with sum-frequency generation in one crystal for generating a third-harmonic beam. The highest conversion efficiencies of 45% and 3% have been achieved in our experiments for QPM SHG and third-harmonic generation, respectively, by use of picosecond laser pulses at 1.327 microm . We have also discovered that periodically poled KTP has slightly different indices (n(z)) from bulk KTP.

Efficient intracavity second-harmonic generation at 1.06 μm in a BiB3O6 (BIBO) crystal

We report, for the first time, efficient intracavity second-harmonic generation (SHG) at 1.06 μm in a non-linear optical crystal, BiB₃O₆ (BIBO), at a type-I phase-matching direction of (θ,ϕ)=(168.9°,90°), performed with a LD end-pumped cw Nd:YVO₄ laser. A cw SHG output power of 364 mW has been obtained using a 1.9-mm-thick BIBO crystal. The optical conversion efficiency was 12.2% and the corresponding effective intracavity SHG efficiency was determined to be 32.4%. It was found that the intracavity SHG efficiency is greater than that obtained with a type-II phase-matching KTiOPO₄ (KTP) crystal with a thickness of 3 mm. The effective non-linear optical coefficient (d_eff) ratio of BIBO to that of KTP, determined experimentally, is 1.23:1.

Increased temperature bandwidth of second harmonic generator using two KTiOPO4 crystals cut at different angles

We report a second harmonic generator (SHG), whose temperature full-width of half-maximum (FWHM) bandwidth is significantly increased by replacing a single long type-II phase-matched KTiOPO₄ (KTP) crystal with two shorter crystals, which are cut at slightly different phase-matching angles. The total length of the two crystals is the same as that of the longer ones. The experimental results show that the measured temperature FWHM bandwidth of the SHG is significantly increased from 11.8 °C in the single 7 × 7 × 10 mm³ KTP crystal to 60.2 °C when the single KTP is replaced with two of 7 × 7 × 5 mm³ KTP crystals whose phase-matching angle are 1.0° apart. Such a SHG allows stable output when it is operated in the environment of very rough temperature condition.
