Second- and third-harmonic generation with vector Gaussian beams
We consider second-harmonic generation (SHG) and third-harmonic generation (THG) in a nonlinear optical crystal illuminated by a vector Gaussian beam, i.e., a Gaussian beam in which the axial component of the excitation field is considered. This component exhibits twice the Gouy phase shift of the transverse component and vanishes at points on the beam axis. Harmonic generation stemming from th...
متن کاملHighly nonlinear dynamics of third-harmonic generation by focused beams
Beams that experience third-harmonic generation ~THG! also experience Kerr effects. With Kerr effects, beams do not take simple Gaussian shapes, but exhibit nonlinear dynamics. These nonlinear dynamics have an effect on the THG accumulated by focusing and then diverging beams. We formulate a self-consistent and complete set of nonlinear Schrödinger equations for a pair of coupled beams—a fundam...
متن کاملC W second harmonic generation with elliptical Gaussian beams
We present a study of the efficiency and optimization of cw second harmonic generation by elliptical Gaussian laser beams. Elliptical focusing slightly improves conversion efficiency and reduces crystal damage risk when heavy walk-off is present. Single-pass measurements of the efficiency for doubling 5 15-nm radiation in beta-barium borate (BBO) agree with theory. Thermal effects, caused by ra...
متن کاملMountain Waves and Gaussian Beams
Gaussian beams are approximate solutions to hyperbolic partial differential equations that are concentrated on a curve in space-time. In this paper, we present a method for computing the stationary in time wave field that results from steady air flow over topography as a superposition of Gaussian beams. We derive the system of equations that governs these mountain waves as a linearization of th...
متن کاملSurface plasmon interference excited by tightly focused laser beams.
We show that interfering surface plasmon polaritons can be excited with a focused laser beam at normal incidence to a plane metal film. No protrusions or holes are needed in this excitation scheme. Depending on the axial position of the focus, the intensity distribution on the metal surface is either dominated by interferences between counterpropagating plasmons or by a two-lobe pattern charact...
