0.5981μm Sum Frequency Mixing in KTP Crystal

Based on accurate values of refractive indices,the phase matching angles(θ_(m))and effective nonlinear coeficients(d_(eff))for type I and I I sum frequency mixing of 1.0795 and 1.3414μm radiations were calculated in KTP crystal.The optimum phase matching conditions are thatθm=75.74o in the XZ plane(Ф=0)and deff=17.42 × 10^(-9) esu.The calculated results agree well with the experimental results.Thus,the cw 0.5981μm sum frequency radiation was achieved in KTP crystal using a 1.0795 and 1.3414μm double-wavelength Nd:YAP cw laser.
