- We investigate efficient frequency-doubling of low energy femtosecond pulses in bulk and waveguide nonlinear crystals, thereby demonstrating how to achieve a compact and portable ultrafast blue light Source. Using a femtosecond Cr:LiSAF laser (fundamental wavelength 860 nm) we examine the relative merits of the process of second harmonic generation (SHG) using bulk potassium niobate, bulk aperiodically-poled KTP, periodically-poled and aperiodically-poled KTP waveguide crystals. While SHG conversion efficiencies LIP to 37% were achieved using the waveguides, non-traditional strong focusing in the bulk samples yielded efficiencies of 30%. We have developed several theoretical models to accurately describe the temporal and spectral properties of the generated blue light, as well as the observed saturation behavior of the conversion process in the waveguide structures.

- We demonstrate an effective means of achieving compact, truly portable, and entirely self-contained ultrafast blue light sources. Using a variety of nonlinear media to achieve simple second-harmonic generation of a femtosecond Cr:LiSAF laser, we investigate the relative merits of aperiodically poled bulk and waveguide nonlinear crystals in comparison to periodically poled structures. Such a compact and convenient source of ultrashort laser pulses in the blue spectral region could be of great interest for on-site applications spanning a host of disciplines, such as biomedical imaging, optical micromanipulation, and high-resolution spectroscopy.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Efficient doubling of femtosecond pulses in periodically and aperiodically poled KTP crystals is demonstrated by employing the quasi-phasematched frequency conversion technique. Conversion efficiencies as high as 60% were achieved using either aperiodically or periodically poled KTP nonlinear crystals in an extracavity, single-pass configuration using a diode-pumped femtosecond Yb:KYW laser as the pump source. The temporal characteristics of the frequency-doubled pulses as a function of focusing conditions in a "thick" nonlinear crystal regime have been investigated experimentally and pulses as short as 177 fs have been generated at around 520 nm under strong focusing conditions using a KTP crystal with aperiodic poling.
