Estimates of Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) Efficiency
Can the second harmonic generation be done efficiently with the right amount of peak power? In this article we will analyze what happens with lower peak power. For example, what if we run the same laser continuously (CW), so the average power might still be one Watt, but the peak power is now also now only one Watt. Can we efficiently generate the second harmonic of that CW beam? Read more and explore SGH with us…
