Large acceptance of non-collinear phase-matching second harmonic generation on the surface of an anomalous-like bulk dispersion medium

Opt Express. 2014 Nov 17;22(23):28234-9. doi: 10.1364/OE.22.028234.

Abstract

We investigate several bandwidths of non-collinear phase-matching second harmonic generation, which is generated by sum-frequency of the incident and reflected wave on the inner surface of a z-cut 5%/mol MgO : LiNbO₃ crystal. The bandwidths of angle, temperature and wavelength in this configuration are measured to be about 0.51°, 4.1°C and 6 nm, respectively. The large acceptance of non-collinear phase-matching second harmonic generated on the surface shows attractive potential in the application of wavelength conversion.
