Green Generation by Single-Pass Frequency-Doubling in a Periodically Poled MgO:LiNbO₃ at Room Temperature

Abstract:

122mW green emission at 532.3nm with a conversion efficiency of 1.2% was measured by single-pass second-harmonic generation in a 10mm long periodically poled MgO:LiNbO3 (MgO:PPLN) crystal is reported. A continuous-wave Yb-doped fiber laser operating at 1064.6nm with narrow bandwidth of 0.1nm is used as pumping source. The experimental temperature acceptance bandwidth ΔT=4.6°C is a little higher than the simulation data of 4°C. Output power instabilities or variations of the green beam pattern were not observed during experiments. In this work, the optimized efficiency was achieved when the waist located at the center of MgO:PPLN and Rayleigh length equal to its length, and the lens’ location in the system was calculated.
