Angle noncritical phase-matched second-harmonic generation in the monoclinic crystal BaGa₄Se₇

Opt Lett. 2015 Oct 15;40(20):4591-4. doi: 10.1364/OL.40.004591.

Abstract

We performed a complete study of angle noncritical phase-matched second-harmonic generation in BaGa4Se7 in the mid-infrared region. We measured the dielectric frame orientation and showed that it does not rotate as a function of wavelength. We determined the phase-matching wavelengths and the associated spectral and angular acceptances along the x and y axes of the dielectric frame. We also estimated the magnitude of the nonlinear coefficients involved.
