Generation of dual-wavelength pulses by frequency doubling with quasi-phase-matching gratings

Opt Lett. 2001 Mar 1;26(5):268-70. doi: 10.1364/ol.26.000268.

Abstract

We demonstrate generation of two synchronized picosecond pulses at different wavelengths near 778 nm by frequency doubling of a femtosecond pulse. We use nonlinear frequency filtering with quasi-phase-matching gratings, which allow us to obtain second-harmonic spectral intensities that are higher than the spectral intensities of the pump.
