A barium sodium niobate acousto-optic mode locker/frequency doubler /AOML/FD/ for Nd:YAG
The use of a single Ba2NaNb5O15 crystal to acousto-optically mode lock and frequency double a Nd:YAG laser is reported. An acoustic transducer was bonded to the crystal to form a standing wave Bragg modulator, and the crystal was mounted in an oven for phase-matched SHG. The acousto-optic figure of...

| Zusammenfassung: | The use of a single Ba2NaNb5O15 crystal to acousto-optically mode lock and frequency double a Nd:YAG laser is reported. An acoustic transducer was bonded to the crystal to form a standing wave Bragg modulator, and the crystal was mounted in an oven for phase-matched SHG. The acousto-optic figure of merit was measured for several orientations. The characteristics of a TEM-00 Nd:YAG laser frequency doubled and mode locked at 500 MHz using an AOML /FD are described. |
