Abstract
An extra cavity harmonic generator system may produce a round, non-astigmatic third harmonic output beam from a nominally round, non-astigmatic, diffraction limited input fundamental beam. The system may include a second harmonic generation crystal. An input fundamental beam size is expanded in a non-walkoff direction for the SHG crystal at the SHG crystal input face. A higher harmonic generation crystal has an output face oriented at an oblique angle of incidence in a non-walkoff direction for the HHG crystal such that an output higher harmonic beam size is contracted in this direction. Expansion of the input fundamental beam at the SHG crystal input face exceeds reduction of third harmonic beam at the HHG crystal output face.

High efficiency laser system for third harmonic generation

TL;DR: In this article, a frequency conversion laser system is configured with a single mode (SM) laser source outputting a pulsed pump beam at a fundamental frequency and a nonlinear optical system operating to convert the fundamental frequency sequentially to a second harmonic (SH) and then third harmonic (TH).

Crystal device capable of realizing broadband frequency doubling

TL;DR: In this article, a DADP crystal phase matching reentry point wavelength lambada and the ratio X of the deuterium content in the crystal satisfy a linear relationship that lambada = 1.0272+0.1394*X, considering the crystal orientation accuracy, the refractive index test accuracy, raw material purity, growth conditions, and the influence of an interception part on the deutrium content, the error range of the X in the formula is +/- 2%; and the cutting direction of the device is the frequency doubling phase matching direction of broadband laser center wavelength
