Temperature-Dependent Sellmeier Equations of IR Nonlinear Optical Crystal BaGa4Se7

چکیده
The thermal dependent principal refractive indices of a new promising IR nonlinear optical crystal BaGa4Se7 at wavelengths of 0.546, 0.5806, 0.644, 0.7065, 1.530, 1.970, and 2.325μm were measured by using the vertical incidence method within the temperature range from 25 to 150 ◦C. We derived equations of thermal refractive index coefficients as a function of wavelength that could be used to calculate the principal thermal refractive indices at different wavelengths. The temperature-dependent Sellmeier equations were also obtained and used to calculate the phase matching angles for the optical parametric process of BaGa4Se7 crystal at different temperatures.

We derive new temperature dependent Sellmeier equations for the extra-ordinary and ordinary refractive indices of 0.5% MgO-doped stoichiometric LiTaO3 crystal. The equations are based on quasi phase-matched frequency conversion measurements, as well as on interferometric measurements of the thermal expansion and thermal dispersion.
