超短中红外参量放大过程的时空走离特性

 计算了MgO:LiNbO₃晶体中，共线与非共线相位匹配光参量放大产生超短中红外激光脉冲过程中的相位匹配曲线、有效非线性系数以及时间和空间走离情况。结果表明，采用非共线相位匹配方式，可以实现三波间群速度匹配；在抑制了泵浦光与信号光之间的空间走离的同时加大了泵浦光与闲频光之间的空间走离，但这种影响可以忽略；同时非共线角的引入使相位匹配角增大，提高了有效非线性系数。因此，非共线角的引入在不影响空间走离的情况下，有效补偿超短中红外参量放大过程中的时间走离，有利于参量放大转换效率的提高。

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.     

Generation of all-solid-state, high-power continuous-wave 213-nm light based on sum-frequency mixing in CsLiB6O10

Achievement of more than 100 mW of pure continuous-wave deep-ultraviolet radiation at 213 nm has been demonstrated in an efficient all-solid-state laser system that uses two Brewster-cut CsLiB6O10 (CLBO) crystals. The first crystal is used for 266-nm generation by external resonant doubling of 532-nm radiation from a frequency-doubled Nd:YVO4 laser. Subsequent sum-frequency mixing is performed in a second CLBO crystal placed in a diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser cavity to mix the single-pass 266-nm output with circulating 1064-nm light.

Noncollinear ultraviolet generation in a lithium borate crystal

Nd:YAG and a Nd:YAG-pumped dye laser are used to generate tunable deep ultraviolet radiation down to 240 nm in a lithium triborate crystal (LBO) by noncollinear sum-frequency mixing. All longer wavelengths can be generated by a combination of harmonic generation of the dye laser and sum-frequency mixing, 240 nm being the near noncritical limit. A set of versatile Sellmeier dispersion equations is derived to satisfactorily predict phase-matching in LBO.     

Compensation for the thermal effect in the second-harmonic generation of a Q-switched nanosecond-kilohertz Nd:YVO4 laser

We report the quantitative relationship between the phase-matching condition and the surrounding temperature in a critical phase-matching second-harmonic generation of a Q-switched Nd:YVO₄ laser with a high repetition rate. The thermal effect can be effectively compensated for by appropriately changing the phase-matching angle with respect to the surrounding temperature of a nonlinear optical crystal. A stable wavelength conversion from the 1064 nm fundamental to the 532 nm second harmonic in a type-I critical phase-matching lithium triborate crystal is experimentally achieved and the corresponding conversion efficiency up to 70% is obtained.
