Thermo-optic dispersion formula for BaGa2GeSe6

Appl Opt. 2019 Dec 10;58(35):9709-9711. doi: 10.1364/AO.58.009709.

Abstract

A thermo-optic dispersion formula for ${{\rm BaGa}_2}{{\rm GeSe}_6}$BaGa2GeSe6 nonlinear crystal is reported. The experimentally determined temperature-dependent phase-matching conditions for second-harmonic and sum-frequency generation of Nd:YAG laser-pumped ${{\rm KTiOPO}_4}$KTiOPO4 (KTP) and ${{\rm RbTiOAsO}_4}$RbTiOAsO4 (RTA) optical parametric oscillators as well as a ${{\rm CO}_2}$CO2 laser and its harmonics in the 0.805-10.5910 µm range are precisely reproduced by the formula when combined with the Sellmeier equations previously reported by the present authors [Appl. Opt.57, 7440 (2018)APOPAI0003-693510.1364/AO.57.007440].
