After a brief examination of known insulating laser crystals and the stimulated emission
channels of their generating activator ions, this article reviews recent advances in the …

Nonlinear optical techniques are now recognized as the most efficient means available to
generate laser radiation at wavelengths that are presently inaccessible via conventional …

After a brief examination of known insulating laser crystals and the stimulated emission
channels of their generating activator ions, this article reviews recent advances in the …

In this introduction we list important definitions and relations that will be used throughout the
book. We will use SI units exclusively. In a departure from custom, for degenerate mixing …

We report the experimental result of simultaneous generation of red, green, and blue (RGB)
quasi-continuous-wave coherent radiation from a single, aperiodically poled LiTaO3 …

The first trivalent rare-earth iodate fluoride nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal, Y (IO3) 2F (YIF),
was successfully designed and synthesized, featuring polarization-favorable helical chains …

We report the scaling of a new self-frequency-doubling laser, based on the crystal Nd/sup
3+/: YCa/sub 4/O (BO/sub 3/)/sub 3/, to higher powers. The power scaling is achieved by …

A new member of the RECa4O (BO3) 3 crystal system, a neodymium calcium oxoborate
[NdCa4O (BO3) 3, abbreviated as NdCOB] single crystal, with dimensions of 30mm in …

Abstract N-alkyl-2, 6-dimethyl-4 (1H)-pyridinones, salts of 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 2-
amino-5-nitropyridine are considered to be potential candidates for nonlinear optical (NLO) …

Spectroscopic properties and self-frequency-doubling laser performance are presented for
Yb: YCa_4O (BO_3) _3 (Yb: YCOB) crystals oriented for type I second-harmonic generation …
