  • Patent number: 11796889
    Abstract: The invention relates to a frequency conversion arrangement (100) for optimising properties of a harmonic of a laser, in particular a beam profile and/or a long-term stability, the arrangement comprising:—a first non-linear crystal (X1), which is designed to convert a first wavelength (?1) partially into a second wavelength (?2); and—an optical unit, which in particular comprises at least one prism (P), which is designed in such a way as to influence the main axes (x1, y1, x2, y2) of the beam profiles of the first wavelength (?1) and/or the second wavelength (?2) differently; and—a second non-linear crystal (X2), which is designed in such a way as to generate a third wavelength (?3) from the unconverted part of the first wavelength (?1) and/or the second wavelength (?2), the second non-linear crystal (X2) having an entry face (A1) and an exit face (A2), and the exit face (A2) running obliquely to the entry face (A1).

  • Patent number: 9507239
    Abstract: A device for frequency conversion of a first laser beam generated with a first frequency. The device has a first crystal for generating a second laser beam having a second frequency, which differs from the first frequency. The second laser beam propagates parallel to the first laser beam after leaving the first crystal. A second crystal, which generates from the first and second laser beams a third laser beam having a different third frequency. An optical deflection device influences the relative beam position between first and second laser beams such that the first and second laser beams, before entering into the second crystal, propagate at an angle with respect to one another, which angle differs from zero, and enter in a manner spaced apart from one another at an entrance surface of the second crystal and intersect within the second crystal with at the same time collinear phase matching.
