Geometrical representation of sum frequency generation and adiabatic frequency conversion
We present a geometrical representation of the process of sum frequency generation in the undepleted pump approximation, in analogy with the known optical Bloch equations. We use this analogy to propose a technique for achieving both high efficiency and large bandwidth in sum frequency conversion using the adiabatic inversion scheme. The process is analogous with rapid adiabatic passage in NMR,...
متن کاملVibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy using inverted visible pulses.
We present a broadband vibrational sum frequency generation (BB-VSFG) scheme using a novel ps visible pulse shape. We generate the fs IR pulse via standard procedures and simultaneously generate an 'inverted' time-asymmetric narrowband ps visible pulse via second harmonic generation in the pump depletion regime using a very long nonlinear crystal which has high group velocity mismatch (LiNbO3)....
متن کاملTunable upconverted optical parametric oscillator with intracavity adiabatic sum-frequency generation.
We experimentally demonstrate efficient tunable upconversion by cascading optical oscillation and wideband adiabatic sum-frequency generation in a single KTiOPO(4) crystal, yielding red light tunable over a 6.2 nm wavelength band. The conversion efficiency of the 1064 nm pump to the red output was up to 4.7%, and with the highest pump power of 1.5 W we obtained 71 mW of average power at 637 nm.
متن کاملVibrationally resolved sum-frequency generation with broad-bandwidth infrared pulses.
We present a novel procedure for vibrationally resolved sum-frequency generation (SFG) in which a broad-bandwidth IR pulse is mixed with a narrow-bandwidth visible pulse. The resultant SFG spectrum is dispersed with a spectrograph and detected in parallel with a scientific-grade CCD detector, permitting rapid and high signal-to-noise ratio data acquisition over a 400-cm(-1) spectral region with...
متن کاملGeneration of vacuum ultraviolet radiation by sum frequency mixing of a femtosecond and a nanosecond laser
Ž . The interaction of high-intensity short pulse fs lasers with atomic or molecular vapors permits the conversion of visible light to intense coherent radiation in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral region. We demonstrate sum frequency mixing of a Ž . Ž . high-intensity short pulse fs laser with a conventional long pulse ns laser to extend the accessible wavelength range of harmonic generation. T...
