Cascaded carbon monoxide laser frequency conversion into the 4.3-4.9 μm range in a single ZnGeP2 crystal.

چکیده
Collinear cascaded mid-IR frequency conversion in a single nonlinear optical crystal was accomplished. Concurrent collinear generation of the sum frequency of multiline fundamental band carbon monoxide laser radiation as a first frequency conversion cascade resulted in collinear difference frequency generation within the 4.3 to 4.9 μm spectral range when mixing this sum frequency radiation with the fundamental one as the second cascade in the same ZnGeP(2) nonlinear optical crystal.

INCREASING THE LASER INDUCED DAMAGE THRESHOLD OF SINGLE CRYSTAL ZnGeP2 (PREPRINT)
The laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) of single crystal zinc germanium phosphide (ZGP), ZnGeP2, was increased to 2 J/cm at 2.05 μm and 10 kHz pulse rate frequency (double the previously measured value of 1 J/cm). This increased LIDT was achieved by improving the polishing of ZGP OPO crystals. The surface preparation of ZGP samples was determined to be of great importance because laser-induc...

A laser-diode pumped Q-switched single-frequency Nd:YAG MOPA operating at 100 Hz was used to generate tunable mid-infrared radiation between 6.27 µm and 8.12 µm by employing a cascaded parametric arrangement consisting of degenerate parametric master-oscillator power amplifier using a large aperture periodically-poled Rb:KTiOPO4 which in turn pumped a ZnGeP2 (ZGP) nonplanar RISTRA OPO. The nonc...
متن کاملHigh-Efficiency Broadband High-Harmonic Generation from a Single Quasi-Phase-Matching Nonlinear Crystal.
Nonlinear frequency conversion offers an effective way to expand the laser wavelength range based on birefringence phase matching (BPM) or quasi-phase-matching (QPM) techniques in nonlinear crystals. So far, efficient high-harmonic generation is enabled only via multiple cascaded crystals because of the extreme difficulty to simultaneously satisfy BPM or QPM for multiple nonlinear up-conversion...

A series of microstructured, supported platinum (Pt) catalyst films (supported on single-crystal yttria-stabilized zirconia) and an appropriate Pt catalyst reference system (supported on single-crystal alumina) were fabricated using pulsed laser deposition and ion-beam etching. The thin films exhibit area-specific lengths of the three-phase boundary (length of three-phase boundary between the P...
