Third harmonic generation at 343nm in nonlinear Ca5(BO3)3F (CBF) crystals

Third harmonic generation at 343nm in nonlinear Ca5(BO3)3F (CBF) crystals

We demonstrate for the first time UV generation at 343 nm by frequency-tripling in the new non-hygroscopic Ca5(BO3)3F crystal. A boule of CBF crystal was grown and cut along the two possible phase matching configurations for third harmonic generation in plans XY and YZ. 300 mW of UV average power ha...

Zusammenfassung:We demonstrate for the first time UV generation at 343 nm by frequency-tripling in the new non-hygroscopic Ca5(BO3)3F crystal. A boule of CBF crystal was grown and cut along the two possible phase matching configurations for third harmonic generation in plans XY and YZ. 300 mW of UV average power have been obtained with a deff estimated at 0.45 pm/V for the XY plan and 0.38 pm/V for the YZ plan.
