TL;DR: In this paper , the first laser operation of a disordered Tm:CaGdAlO4 crystal on the 3H4 → 3H5 transition was reported, where the cascade Tm-laser generated a maximum output power of 585mW at 1.77 µm and 2.32 µm with a slope efficiency of 13.9% and 22.5% vs. incident and absorbed pump power.

Nonlinear optics
TL;DR: In this method, non-linear susceptibility tensors are introduced which relate the induced dipole moment to a power series expansion in field strengths and the various experimental observations are described and interpreted in terms of this formalism.

Interactions between light waves in a nonlinear dielectric
TL;DR: In this paper, the induced nonlinear electric dipole and higher moments in an atomic system, irradiated simultaneously by two or three light waves, are calculated by quantum-mechanical perturbation theory.

Quasi-phase-matched second harmonic generation: tuning and tolerances
TL;DR: The theory of quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation in both the space domain and the wave vector mismatch domain is presented in this paper, where various types of errors in the periodicity of these structures are analyzed to find their effects on the conversion efficiency and on the shape of the tuning curve.
