Wavelength variation of the second-order nonlinear coefficients of KNbO3, KTiOPO4, KTiOAsO4, LiNbO3, LiIO3, b-BaB2O4, KH2PO4, and LiB3O5 crystals: a test of Miller wavelength scaling

چکیده
We measure second-order nonlinear coefficients using optical parametric amplification and second-harmonic generation over a range of wavelengths for the crystals KNbO3, KTiOPO4, KTiOAsO4, LiNbO3, LiIO3, b-BaB2O4, KH2PO4, and LiB3O5. Combining our new measurements with previously reported values, we compare the wavelength variation of individual dijk’s with Miller scaling, and we conclude that Miller scaling is a useful approximation for these crystals. © 2001 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 190.2620, 190.4410, 190.4970.

Femtosecond Z-scan measurements of nonlinear refraction in nonlinear optical crystals
We report an investigation of third-order optical nonlinearities in several nonlinear optical crystals using the Z-scan technique with femtosecond laser pulses at 780 nm wavelength. The crystals studied include LiNbO3:MgO, KTiOAsO4, KTiOPO4, b-BaB2O4 and LiB3O5, which are extensively used for ultrashort-pulse second-harmonic generation and optical parametric oscillation. The nonlinear refractiv...

Since the publication of an earlier review on optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) in 2000,1 there has been remarkable progress in the technological development and applications of OPO devices. Once considered an impractical approach for the generation of coherent radiation, OPOs have now been finally transformed into truly viable, state-of-the-art light sources capable of accessing difficult ...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent dispersion equations for KTiOPO4 and KTiOAsO4.
We have measured the thermal expansion and the temperature dependence of z and y components of the refractive index for KTiOPO4 and KTiOAsO4, in the wavelength range 532-1585 nm and temperature range 25-200 degrees C, using an interferometric technique. The measurements were used to derive temperature-dependent Sellmeier equations for the two materials. These equations predict with good agreeme...
متن کاملQuasi-phase matching in LiNbO3 using nonlinear coefficients in the XY plane
We report quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN), where both fundamental and second-harmonic waves are ordinary waves. It provides a lower-limit value for d22 of 1.1 pm/V. The measured temperature and wavelength bandwidth of the second-harmonic signal are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. Since the d22 = dYYY nonlinear coeff...
