Parametric superradiant (resonator free) generation in nonlinear crystals of ZnGeP2 and GaSe (type I phase matching) was obtained for the first time. As a pump source 110 ps pulses from the actively mode locked Er:YAG laser (2.94 pm) were used. The tuning range achieved was 4-10 pm (ZnGeP2) and 3.5-18 pm (GaSe). In case of ZnGeP 2 (42 mm crystal) and type I1 phase matching the quantum efficiency reached 17.6% ,corresponding to the output peak power of 3 MW near 5-6 pm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
