Continuous-wave dual-wavelength operation at 1062 and 1338nm in Nd3+:YAl3(BO3)4 and observation of yellow laser light generation at 592nm by their se…
2009
Abstract We report simultaneous oscillation in continuous wave at 1062 and 1337 nm in a Nd 3+ :YAl 3 (BO 3 ) 4 nonlinear crystal associated to the infrared laser channels 4 F 3/2 → 4 I 11/2 and 4 F 3/2 → 4 I 13/2 of Nd 3+ . Generation of yellow laser light at 592 nm produced by Type I self-sum-frequency-mixing of both fundamental infrared laser waves is observed under non-optimal phase matching conditions.
Even harmonics generation in plasma as a new tool of current evolution diagnostics
2005
It is shown that using even harmonics of a test wave it is possible to diagnose the fast time evolution of the current density.
Counter-propagating difference frequency mixing in diamond with terahertz waves
2013
We investigate four-wave mixing between terahertz and optical pulses in diamond. We observe the occurrence of sum and difference frequency generation, with the latter being phase-matched for terahertz pulses counter-propagating to the optical field.
Dynamics of four-wave-mixing oscillators with quasi-phase-matching
2009
The effect of pump-wave misalignment on the oscillation spectra of a semilinear photorefractive oscillator is studied numerically and compared with the results of experiments performed with ${\text{BaTiO}}_{3}:\text{Co}$ and ${\text{KNbO}}_{3}:\text{Ag},\text{Fe}$ crystals.
Counter-propagating frequency mixing with Terahertz waves in diamond
2013
Frequency conversion by means of Kerr nonlinearity is one of the most common and exploited nonlinear optical processes in the UV, visible, IR, and mid-IR spectral regions. Here we show that wave mixing of an optical field and a terahertz wave can be achieved in diamond, resulting in the frequency conversion of the terahertz radiation either by sum- or difference-frequency generation. In the latter case, we show that this process is phase matched and most efficient in a counterpropagating geometry.
Intracavity Frequency Doubling and Difference Frequency Mixing for Pulsed ns Ti:Sapphire Laser Systems at On-Line Radioactive Ion Beam Facilities
2015
Intra-cavity second harmonic generation of a Titanium:sapphire (Ti:sa) laser system has been used to improve the conversion efficiency to the second harmonic. Over the course of several experiments performance data spanning the whole wavelength range of a Ti:sa has been collected, which may be used as a guideline for future experiments. An average output power of up to 3.7 W was achieved, resulting in a conversion efficiency of >75 % to the second harmonic. A wavelength coverage from 340-525 nm has been demonstrated. To extend the wavelength range of the solid state laser system, difference frequency mixing has been applied to the intra-cavity doubled light and the fundamental output of a s…
