  • MULTI-CRYSTAL FREQUENCY TRIPLER FOR THIRD HARMONIC CONVERSION
    Publication number: 20140192829
    Abstract: An optical system includes a laser source operable to output a laser beam at a fundamental wavelength and a frequency conversion system. The frequency conversion system includes a frequency doubler module including a first plurality of nonlinear optical crystals and a frequency polarization tripler module including a second plurality of nonlinear optical crystals. The optical system also includes a control system coupled to the frequency conversion system and a diagnostics system coupled to the frequency conversion system.

  • Electro-optic modulator material
    Patent number: 6859467
    Abstract: An electro-optic device for use with a laser beam. A crystal has a first face and a second face. Means are provided for applying a voltage across the crystal to obtain a net phase retardation on the polarization of the laser beam when the laser beam is passed through the crystal. In one embodiment the crystal is composed of a compound having the chemical formula ReAe40(BO3)3 where: RE consists of one or more of the following elements La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu and two other elements Y and Sc; and where Ae is from the list of Ca, Sr, or Ba.
