High bandwidth second-harmonic generation in partially deuterated KDP

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7104945
We have experimentally determined the spectrally noncritical phasematching behavior of Type I frequency doubling in KDP and its dependence on deuteration level in partially deuterated KDP. The first order wavelength sensitivity parameter{partial derivative}{Delta}k/{partial derivative}{gamma} for Type I doubling of 1.053 {mu}m light vanishes for a KD*P crystal with a deuteration level between 10 and 14%. Very high bandwidth frequency doubling of Nd:glass lasers is possible with such a crystal.
