Bandwidth analysis of non-collinear fourth and fifth harmonic generation in nonlinear uniaxial crystals

Abstract

The optimal angle bandwidth and wavelength bandwidth of fourth-harmonic generation (FHG) and fifth-harmonic generation (FIFHG) of the 1064[Formula: see text]nm laser are analyzed based on the numerical calculation results of non-collinear type-I and type-II phase matching processes for general nonlinear uniaxial crystals with 1[Formula: see text]cm length. The non-collinear phase matching angles and effective nonlinear coefficients of FHG and FIFHG are calculated. The optimal angle bandwidth and wavelength bandwidth are obtained. The results are beneficial to broadband and efficient non-collinear phase matching FHG and FIFHG experiments and studies.
