Mathematical consideration of Phase-Matching bandwidth, effective nonlinear coefficient and the walk-off effect for LiGa(SexS1-x)2 nonlinear crystals by using Genetic algorithm
In this paper the Phase-Matching bandwidth, effective nonlinear coefficient and the walk-off angle within the effective bandwidth of the LiGa(SexS1-x)2 biaxial nonlinear crystals are calculated using the Genetic algorithm (GA). This calculation is held for all tree principle XY, YZ and XZ planes individually. The results are shown the accuracy of the applied algorithm is quite qualified.

متن کاملThree-Dimensional Single Gyroid Photonic Crystals with a Mid- Infrared Bandgap
A gyroid structure is a distinct morphology that is triply periodic and consists of minimal isosurfaces containing no straight lines. We have designed and synthesized amorphous silicon (a-Si) mid-infrared gyroid photonic crystals that exhibit a complete bandgap in infrared spectroscopy measurements. Photonic crystals were synthesized by deposition of a-Si/Al2O3 coatings onto a sacrificial polym...

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 ca...
