A theoretical model of pulse propagation through single-mode fibres is presented taking into account the combined action of self-phase modulation, stimulated Raman-scattering and the group velocity mismatch between pump and Stokes pulses.

 在考虑了二次谐波的吸收对转换效率影响的情况下,由光在介质中的波动方程,推导出负单轴晶体Ⅰ类相位匹配时平面二次谐波的耦合波方程和二次谐波转换效率的理论公式。在此基础上,再考虑走离效应的影响,给出了二次谐波转换效率的理论公式。根据这些公式,以负单轴晶体K₂Al₂B₂O₇（KABO）为例,对二次谐波的转换效率进行了数值计算。结果表明：考虑二次谐波的吸收时,存在倍频晶体长度的最佳值,当倍频晶体取该值时,二次谐波的转换效率最高;走离效应的存在使二次谐波的转换效率降低。     

Impact of spatial modulation on the third harmonic wave propagation and far-field focal spot in frequency conversion system

Third harmonic generation (THG) of high power laser is discussed in KDP crystals utilized in frequency conversion systems of large laser facilities. The far-field focal spot of the third harmonic wave is presented based on numerical simulation of the nonlinear coupled-wave equations, in which the walk-off and paraxial diffraction are taken into account and the electric field of the fundamental wave (1053 nm, 1ω) pulse is phase and amplitude modulated in spatial domain. Impact of the modulation depth and frequency on the focal spot energy, the side lobes location and conversion efficiency are analyzed in detail. The results show that the side lobes location is equivalently determined by the modulation frequency of both phase modulation and amplitude modulation, while the energy-concentration is decreased mostly because of the 1ω modulation depth. Relatively, the phase modulation plays a more important role than the amplitude modulation in decreasing main lobe energy for different reasons. The phase modulation makes the energy flowing from the main lobe to side lobes, while amplitude modulation not only makes the energy flowing but also decreases tripling efficiency significantly.

Frequency doubling of multi-terawatt femtosecond pulses

We present an experimental and theoretical study of the influence of the spatial beam quality (fluence and phase distributions) on the second-harmonic generation in KDP crystals pumped by 180-fs pulses at 790 nm. Conversion efficiency and beam focusability are investigated experimentally and theoretically by the numerical analysis of the second harmonic, considering effects due to the cubic nonlinearity, beam diffraction, group-velocity walk-off, and dispersion of the pulses. It was found that the uniform intensity and phase distributions of the fundamental beam are essential to obtain a high focal intensity of the second-harmonic beam. PACS 42.65.Ky; 42.65.Re
