Second harmonic generation and its interaction with relativistic plasma waves driven by forward Raman instability in underdense plasmas
High conversion efficiency ~0.1%! into second harmonic light generated in the interaction of a short-pulse intense laser with underdense plasma has been observed. In this experiment the plasma is created by optical field ionization of hydrogen or helium gas. Second harmonic spectra observed in the forward direction show Stokes and anti-Stokes satellites. This is due to the interaction of the se...
متن کاملSecond-harmonic generation
The goal of this experiment in nonlinear optics is to study the conversion of a (very small) fraction of laser light from its original wavelength of 980 nm (i.e. invisible to the naked eye) to its second-harmonic at a wavelength of 490 nm. This conversion takes place by mild focussing of an intense laser beam in a nonlinear birefringent crystal of BBO (= β BaBO4). You will study the physical pr...
متن کاملInterferometric second harmonic generation microscopy.
We describe a novel second harmonic generation (SHG) microscope that employs heterodyne detection by interfering the epi directed SHG from a sample with SHG from a reference crystal. In addition, the microscope provides complementary reflectance information based on optical coherence microscopy (OCM). The instrument features dual balanced detection to minimize the effect of source fluctuations,...
متن کاملX-ray second harmonic generation.
We report clear experimental evidence for second harmonic generation at hard x-ray wavelengths. Using a 1.7 Å pumping beam generated by a free electron laser, we observe second harmonic generation in diamond. The generated second harmonic is of order 10 times the background radiation, scales quadratically with pump pulse energy, and is generated over a narrow phase-matching condition. Of import...
متن کاملSecond Harmonic X-wave Generation
In the process of optical second-harmonic generation an X-wave, travelling at the group velocity of the fundamental frequency, spontaneously forms. Its parameters, as well as the angular spectrum, are directly correlated to the group velocity mismatch and to the wavevector mismatch between the two harmonics. A novel mechanism for spatio-temporal localized waves generation is thus proposed. ∗Ele...
