Tunable lasers. Final report 1 Jul 74-30 Jun 76

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7107652
The objectives of this research program were to develop wavelength-tunable laser systems and to explore their applications. During the program, the authors completed our investigation of KB/sub 5/O/sub 8/.4H/sub 2/O and NH/sub 4/B/sub 5/O/sub 8/.4H/sub 2/O as phase-matchable nonlinear crystals for frequency doubling to 217 nm. They demonstrated further the utility and potential of rotationally-twinned 43 m nonlinear crystals by frequency-doubling a tunable dye laser in ZnSe. An enhancement of 1500 above that obtained in a single crystal was obtained. Further calculations on optimum crystallographic orientations for nonlinear effects in twinned crystals were completed.
