The efficiency of SHG and OPO operation for high rep-rate, high-averagepower laser beams is investigated. This efficiency depends on both laser and crystal parameters. For instance, for the OPO there are variable parameters such as input energy, length of the crystal, cavity length, seed power, crystal sort, etc. Emphasis is put on the effects of the thermal load of a BBO crystal.
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.
