چکیده
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 near-stoichiometric lithium tantalate fabricated by vapor transport equilibration. These crystals supported 1 J of 1064 nm radiation and generated 21 mJ of 532 nm radiation from a 7 ns, Q-switched Nd:YAG laser within a factor of 4.2 of expectation.

Vapor-transport equilibrated near-stoichiometric lithium tantalate for frequency-conversion applications.
Near-stoichiometric lithium tantalate (SLT) crystals were produced from congruent lithium tantalate by a vapor-transport equilibration process. Because of the resultant increase in photoconductivity and reduction in photogalvanism, the crystals showed no observable photorefractive damage at 514.5 nm up to the highest intensity used, 2 MW/cm2. The crystals also exhibited low green-induced infrar...
متن کاملTunable ultraviolet radiation by second-harmonic generation in periodically poled lithium tantalate.
We describe electric-field poling of fine-pitch ferroelectric domain gratings in lithium tantalate and characterization of nonlinear-optical properties by single-pass quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation (QPM SHG). With a 7.5-microm-period grating, the observed effective nonlinear coefficient for first-order QPM SHG of 532-nm radiation is 9 pm/V, whereas for a grating with a 2.625-mic...
متن کاملQuasi-Cw Ultraviolet Generation in a Dual-periodic LiTaO3 Superlattice by Frequency Tripling
We propose a dual-periodically domain-inverted structure for realizing an efficient third-harmonic generation at an arbitrary fundamental wavelength. The structure allows to couple two separate optical parametric processes, frequency doubling and frequency adding, through a cascaded quasi-phase-matched interaction, therefore, generate third-harmonic directly from a superlattice sample. As an ex...
متن کاملEfficient periodically poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate optical parametric oscillator for the visible to near-infrared region.
A compact, efficient optical parametric oscillator (OPO) for the visible to near-infrared region based on periodically poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate pumped by a frequency-doubled multikilohertz Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is demonstrated. Up to 61% photon conversion with a 71% slope efficiency for photon conversion from 532 nm to the signal radiation was measured. We observed that the effi...
متن کاملQuasi-phase matched second-harmonic generation through thermal poling in femtosecond laser-written glass waveguides.
Quasi-phase matched second-harmonic generation at 532 nm is demonstrated in a channel waveguide that is written in bulk fused silica using a femtosecond laser. The second-order nonlinear grating is fabricated using uniform thermal poling followed by periodic erasure inside an e-beam deposition system caused, by what we believe to be, x-rays. A SHG conversion efficiency of 2 x10(-5) %/W-cm(2) wa...
