Active Control of Thermal Dephasing Effect in High Power Continuous Wave Single-Pass Second Harmonic Generation

摘要

In this paper, we present a theoretical model that describes the performance of a specific oven configuration used to actively control the effect of thermal dephasing on the output characteristics of a high-power single-pass second-harmonic generation (SHG) in a MgO:sPPLT nonlinear crystal. The provided model is based on using step and slope oven configurations and making a quantitative comparison with the recent results obtained by using open-top oven scheme. It is found that in the slope oven scheme the SHG power is enhanced by 190% at a fundamental power of 50 W, indicating the significance of the represented model. Eventually, the merit of the proposed slope oven indicated through saturation control in the generation of high-power SH radiation.
