Second harmonic generation with focused beams in a pair of walkoff-compensating crystals

Pack, Michael P.; Armstrong, Darrell J.; Smith, A.V.

The heuristic theory of second harmonic generation with focused beams in walkoff-compensating crystals was developed and presented. Intercrystal phase-shift due to the anti reflective dielectric coatings on the crystals was measured. The conversion efficiency and the far-field second harmonic beam profiles were compared and it was found that theoretical developments were in good agreement with experimental results.
