Continuous-wave backward frequency doubling in periodically poled lithium niobate
arXiv:1209.4288 · doi:10.1063/1.3364934
Abstract
We report on backward second-harmonic-generation in bulk periodically poled congruent lithium niobate with a 3.2 microns period. A tunable continuous-wave Ti:sapphire laser allowed us exciting two resonant quasi-phase-matching orders in the backward configuration. The resonances were also resolved by temperature tuning and interpolated with standard theory to extract relevant information on the sample.
