bbo crystal conversion efficiency This article discusses the second-harmonic generation (SHG) of tightly focused fs laser pulses in a BBO crystal. It was found theoretically and demonstrated experimentally that the spatial walk-off (SWO) and group-velocity dispersion (GVD) effects can suppress the pulse distortion and gain depression of SHG due to group-velocity mismatch (GVMM), thus keeping … Continue reading bbo crystal conversion efficiency
