Periodically Poled MgO:LiNbO3 Generates High-Power Green

Although green powers in excess of 1 W have been generated with periodically poled LiNbO3 (PPLN), the results have been obtained only when the nonlinear crystal is heated to temperatures significantly above 100 °C, so as to avoid deleterious photorefractive effects in the crystal. Scientists in Japan now report using a different crystal, periodically poled MgO:LiNbO3 (PPMgLN), which has generated green power in excess of 1 W from a room-temperature crystal. They believe that this is the highest power reported from a room-temperature periodically poled crystal, and that their technique can...Read full article
