Enhanced efficiency of the second harmonic inhomogeneous component in an opaque cavity.

چکیده
In this Letter, we experimentally demonstrate the enhancement of the inhomogeneous second harmonic conversion in the opaque region of a GaAs cavity with efficiencies of the order of 0.1% at 612 nm, using 3 ps pump pulses having peak intensities of the order of 10 MW/cm(2). We show that the conversion efficiency of the inhomogeneous, phase-locked second harmonic component is a quadratic function of the cavity factor Q.

Considerably Enhanced Second-Harmonic Generation in Resonant U-Shaped Nano-Structures
In this paper, we perform a detailed study of the spectral response of the gold U-shaped nano-structures for different geometrical parameters and polarizations in order to obtain significant localization factor in the wavelength 1.55 μm. The obtained near-field distribution of electric fields reveals that resonances in these nano-structures correspond to the even and odd plasmonic modes dependi...
متن کاملSecond-harmonic generation of a continuous-wave diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser using an externally resonant cavity.
We report 13% second-harmonic conversion efficiency of a 15-mW, cw, diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG oscillator. 2 mW of single-axial-mode 532-mm radiation was generated by externally resonant second-harmonic generation in a monolithic MgO:LiNbO(3) nonlinear crystal cavity. The measured finesse of 450 for the monolithic external cavity indicated that absorption and scatter losses in the doubler were l...
متن کاملEnhanced conversion efficiency for harmonic generation with double resonance.
The idea of using a resonant cavity to enhance conversion efficiency in cw second-harmonic generation was first discussed by Ashkin et al.,' who found that the conversion efficiency can be greatly increased by resonating either the fundamental or the harmonic field. Because of its simplicity, the scheme of employing a resonator to build up the fundamental power is the one most widely used in pr...
متن کاملEnhanced second-harmonic generation in AlGaAs/AlxOy tightly confining waveguides and resonant cavities.
We demonstrate second-harmonic generation (SHG) from sub-micrometer-sized AlGaAs/AlxOy artificially birefringent waveguides. The normalized conversion efficiency is the highest ever reported. We further enhanced the SHG using a waveguide-embedded cavity formed by dichroic mirrors. Resonant enhancements as high as approximately 10x were observed. Such devices could be potentially used as highly ...
