Generation of ultraviolet radiation with wide angular tolerance in cesium lithium borate crystal

Tangential phase-matching has been realised in cesium lithium borate (CLBO) crystal for the first time for the generation of fourth harmonic (266 nm) of Nd:YAG and third harmonic (226.7 nm) of a dye laser radiation by second harmonic generation and sum-frequency mixing with the angular tolerance as large as 22 mrad and 21 mrad respectively, over one of the interacting beams. An energy conversion efficiency of 15% for fourth harmonic generation is obtained with a 5.5 mm thick crystal and with the average pump powers only 170 and 70 mW. A set of Sellmeier dispersion equations for the CLBO crystal have also been formulated.     

Theoretical treatment and simulation of new UV crystal CsLiB6O10 in third-harmonic generation

We calculated theoretically the properties of the nonlinear crystal CsLiB₆O₁₀ (CLBO) in third-harmonic generation (THG). These are the phase matching angle, the effective nonlinear coefficient, the walk-off angle, the permitted angle, and the permitted wavelength, and we found that CLBO has a small walk-off angle and large permitted parameters, as compared with BBO. The numerical simulation curves of the conversion efficiency were obtained for the case where CLBO was used in THG of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm and different pump powers and the optimized efficiency was as high as 22%. All this suggests that the CLBO crystal is more suitable for generating intense higher order harmonic radiation.     

Analysis of broadband third harmonic generation with non-collinear angular dispersion in KDP crystals

A new scheme with non-collinear sum frequency generation (SFG) process of broadband third harmonic generation (THG) with two KDP crystals (one doubler and one mixer) using angular dispersion was proposed. The principle of broadband harmonic generation with non-collinear angular dispersion was presented. The comparison between the schemes of non-collinear and collinear SFG process was performed. The effects of the angular dispersion on the conversion efficiency, the pulse shape and the spectrum of the third harmonic field were discussed. The results show that, if proper angular dispersion is added to the fundamental and the second harmonic field outside the mixing KDP crystal, respectively, the broadband third harmonic conversion efficiency can be improved significantly. However, the difficulty of this scheme arises due to the requirement of two gratings with different angular dispersion outside the mixer. With the new scheme, it can be simpler that only one grating is needed to realize the broadband phase matching in the non-collinear SFG process. Although the fundamental and the second harmonic field inside the mixing crystal are non-collinear except the center wavelength, a blazing grating with proper angular dispersion for the fundamental field (twice as that for second harmonic field) can yield the well compensation for phase mismatching in the SFG process. Consequently, the conversion efficiency and the characteristics of the third harmonic field for the broadband third harmonic generation can be improved significantly.

Long-term operation of CsLiB(6)O(10) at elevated crystal temperature

We have successfully resolved the degradation problem of CsLiB(6)O(10) (CLBO) by means of elevated crystal temperature. CLBO crystals were continuously operated at 160 degrees C in ordinary room humidity. No degradation of performance was observed after more than 1 month. We believe that heating CLBO crystal above 130 degrees C can relieve stresses introduced by crystal hydration, cutting, polishing, and thermal shock owing to laser power absorption. Thus long-term operation of CLBO crystal is achieved for effective application of laser frequency conversion. Output stability from CLBO is also further enhanced at elevated crystal temperature.
