Abstract: | The characteristics of intracavity second-harmonic generation (SHG) at 1.06 μm in GdCa4O(BO3)3 (GdCOB) crystals cut for different type I phase-matching (PM) directions of (θ,φ)=(66.8°, 132.3°); (19.4°, 0°); (90°, 46°)
have been investigated. It was found that the intracavity SHG was significantly efficient in the PM direction of (66.8°, 132.3°),
and that the intrinsic lower effective nonlinear coefficient (deff) was responsible for the less-efficient SHG in the other two directions. A maximum CW SHG output power of 2.81 W was obtained
with an optical conversion efficiency of 18.7%, while the corresponding effective intracavity SHG efficiency was determined
to be 41.3%. The intracavity SHG efficiency of GdCOB has been found to reach two-thirds of that obtained with type II phase-matching
KTiOPO4 (KTP).
