We report efficient generation of high-power, cw, single-frequency radiation in the green in a simple, compact configuration based on single-pass, second-harmonic generation of a cw ytterbium fiber laser at 1064 nm in periodically poled KTiOPO(4). Using a crystal containing a 17 mm single grating with period of 9.01 microm, we generate 6.2 W of cw radiation at 532 nm for a fundamental power of ...

We present a stable, high-power, cw, single-frequency green source in a compact and practical design based on a simple single-pass second-harmonic generation of a cw ytterbium fiber laser at 1064 nm in MgO-doped periodically poled stoichiometric LiTaO(3). Using a 30-mm-long crystal containing a single grating, we have generated 9.64 W of cw radiation at 532 nm with a fundamental power of 29.5 W...

We investigate the influence of localized and propagating surface plasmons on third harmonic generation from rectangular apertures in metal films. We designed optimal aperture array structures by using finite-difference time-domain simulations with nonlinear scattering theory. From this design space, we fabricated and measured the third harmonic in the region of maximal performance. We find the...

Multilevel inverter (MLI) has emerged as a key player in medium and high voltage application due to its tremendous popularity in reduced voltage stress across the power switches and low total harmonic distortion in output waveform. MLI requires large amount of power switches to perform conversion as compared to conventional converter. In MLI, as the number of levels increase number of switches ...

The paper deals with a harmonic detection algorithm for hybrid power filters called DQ axis with Fourier (DQF) algorithm. This algorithm is a combination of the advantages of DQ axis method and sliding window Fourier analysis (SWFA). It is flexible and suitable in terms of design for hybrid power filters. This paper also presents the harmonic elimination by using the DQF algorithm for both thre...

We report the generation of high-repetition-rate femtosecond pulses in the blue by intracavity doubling of a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser using ,f-BaB204. To reduce the pulse-broadening effect of group-velocity mismatch, an extremely thin p-BaB204 crystal is used. By pumping the Ti:sapphire laser with 4.4 W of power from an Ar' laser, as much as 230 mW of 430-nm light is produced at a 72-MHz r...

We provide a comprehensive study on one-third harmonic generation (OTHG) in highly Germania-doped fiber (HGDF) by analyzing the phase matching conditions for the step index-profile and optimizing the design parameters. For stimulated OTHG in HGDF, the process can be enhanced by fiber attenuation at the pump wavelength which dynamically compensates the accumulated phase-mismatch along the fiber....

This paper presents a new architecture for an AlGaN/GaN HEMT frequency doubler using the active integrated antenna design approach. A microstrip patch antenna designed at the second harmonic is integrated with the HEMT. The antenna operates as a fundamental frequency reflector in this circuit. Using AlGaN/GaN with 1mm gate periphery, a 4 8 GHz frequency doubler was designed by the suggested des...

We report on amorphous organic thin films that exhibit efficient third-harmonic generation at telecommunication wavelengths. At 1550 nm, micrometer-thick samples generate up to 17 mW of green light with input power of 250 mW delivered by an optical parametric oscillator. This high conversion efficiency is achieved without phase matching or cascading of quadratic nonlinear effects. With these fi...
