Abstract

AbstractNonlinear crystals are, nowadays, key devices to build coherent sources emitting radiation from the UV to the IR spectral range. Applications of nonlinear optics are primarily based on frequency conversion, through harmonic generation or sum and difference frequency mixing. These nonlinear frequency conversion techniques make possible coherent light sources in spectral regions where laser sources are limited, or do not exist. Light sources based on nonlinear crystals, like optical parametric oscillators as well as harmonic and difference frequency generators, are finding increasing application in high sensitivity spectroscopy.KeywordsDomain WallLithium NiobateFerroelectric DomainOptical Path DifferenceLithium Niobate CrystalThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
