Intracavity testing of KTiOPO4 crystals for second-harmonic generation at 532 nm.

چکیده
We have developed a diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 cw laser for testing KTiOPO4 crystals designed for intracavity second-harmonic generation at 532 nm. We demonstrate that this source is extremely sensitive to defects inside the crystal, inducing losses at 1064 nm and an index mismatch between fundamental and harmonic waves.

Quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation of 532 nm radiation in 25 degrees -rotated, x-cut, near-stoichiometric, lithium tantalate fabricated by vapor transport equilibration.
Quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation of 532 nm radiation in 25 degrees -rotated, x-cut, near-stoichiometric lithium tantalate has been performed. Using a face-normal topology for frequency conversion applications allows scalable surface area to avoid surface and volume damage in high-power interactions. First-order, quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation was achieved using nea...
متن کاملFabrication of low-loss Rb-exchanged ridge waveguides in z-cut KTiOPO4
We report on the fabrication and characterization of ridge waveguides in z-cut KTiOPO4 fabricated by Rb-ion exchange and subsequent precise diamond-blade dicing. Low attenuation values of 1.3 dB/cm (1.6 dB/cm) were determined at a wavelength of 1550 nm for TE (TM) polarization. Surface quality obtained by dicing is excellent for side walls of diced ridges and prepared end faces used for light c...
متن کاملContinuous-wave 532-nm-pumped singly resonant optical parametric oscillator with periodically poled KTiOPO4
We report on a continuous-wave singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO) based on periodically poled KTiOPO4. This is pumped by a frequency-doubled single-frequency Nd:YAG master oscillator power ampli®er system. Pump wave enhancement allowed for external oscillation thresholds around 200 mW. Up to 72 mW of idler and 28 mW of signal radiation were generated at 1.2 W pump power. Output...
متن کاملExtended phase matching of second-harmonic generation in periodically-poled KTiOPO4 with zero group-velocity mismatch
Under extended phase-matching conditions, the first frequency-derivative of the phase-matching function is zero and the phase-matching bandwidth is greatly increased. We made extensive three-wave mixing measurements to identify the operating point for extended phase matching, thus permitting us to observe a type-II phase-matching bandwidth of 100 nm centered at the fundamental wavelength of 158...

We measure second-order nonlinear coefficients using optical parametric amplification and second-harmonic generation over a range of wavelengths for the crystals KNbO3, KTiOPO4, KTiOAsO4, LiNbO3, LiIO3, b-BaB2O4, KH2PO4, and LiB3O5. Combining our new measurements with previously reported values, we compare the wavelength variation of individual dijk’s with Miller scaling, and we conclude that M...
