METHOD OF NONLINEAR CRYSTAL PACKAGING AND ITS APPLICATION IN DIODE PUMPED SOLID STATE LASERS

摘要

The present invention is related to methods of packaging optical nonlinear crystal with a periodically domain inversion structure (e.g. periodically poled MgO doped lithium niobate) which is bonded with a laser crystal (e.g. Nd doped YVO4) and to achieve efficient second harmonic generation in an intra-cavity configuration.
