Abstract: | The second harmonic generation (SHG) at a wavelength of 0.8 μm by 50-and 10-fs pulses with and without phase modulation (PM)
was systematically studied in LiNbO3 crystals with regular domain structure and linearly varied domain thickness. The main results were obtained by numerical
method, taking into account the difference between group velocities of interacting pulses and the group-velocity dispersion.
In the approximation of the given field of the fundamental radiation, an analytical expression was derived for the spectral
density of the second harmonic in the periodically poled nonlinear crystal (PPNC) under nonstationary excitation conditions.
It was numerically found that the conversion efficiency of about 90% can be achieved by doubling the frequency of 50-fs laser
pulses without PM in the LiNbO3 PPNC. The maximum conversion efficiency for the SHG by PM pulses is achieved at a certain optimum chirp step in the crystal
domain length, which depends on both the value and sign of frequency modulation. |
