Intracavity Frequency Doubling and Difference Frequency Mixing for Pulsed ns Ti:Sapphire Laser Systems at On-Line Radioactive Ion Beam Facilities

Abstract: Intra-cavity second harmonic generation of a Titanium:sapphire (Ti:sa) laser system has been used to improve the conversion efficiency to the second harmonic. Over the course of several experiments performance data spanning the whole wavelength range of a Ti:sa has been collected, which may be used as a guideline for future experiments. An average output power of up to 3.7 W was achieved, resulting in a conversion efficiency of >75 % to the second harmonic. A wavelength coverage from 340-525 nm has been demons… Show more

“…The UV power can easily be adjusted by rotating the polarization state of one of the input beams to the frequency-tripling crystal. For the second step excitation an intra-cavity frequency-doubled broadband Ti:sapphire [28,29] was employed with 0.8 W power at the interaction region. The spot size of the blue laser was ≈ 0.5 cm 2 , yielding 1.6 W/cm 2 .…”

“…In order to generate the UV light of the first step, two approaches were implemented. Intra-cavity second harmonic generation (SHG) was used for high output power [46] and a single-pass external SHG station was preferred when wavelength scanning was required. The first step Ti:sa laser was pumped separately with its own Neodymium YAG (Nd:YAG) laser, which gave independent control over the timing of the first step laser pulses.…”

“…For the measurement, one standard "Z" cavity Ti:Sapphire laser was used, pumped by 8 W of output power from an InnoLas Nanio 532-18-Y laser. The required 406-nm laser light was produced via intra-cavity frequency doubling [26], providing up to 1.1 W of output power. The transport efficiency of the optical path was measured to be approximately 70% from the laser lab to the entrance window of the mass separator.…”
