Abstract:
The intracavity second-harmonic generation of laser radiation in an active nonlinear crystal is studied. The spatial distributions of the intensity and power of laser radiation and its second harmonic are calculated by the method of numerical simulations as functions of the parameters of the resonator, active nonlinear crystal, and pump. The analysis is performed for a periodically poled Nd:Mg:LiNbO3 crystal taking diffraction into account.
