A COMPUTER PROGRAM TO ANALYZE OPTICAL PARAMETRIC UP-CONVERSION PROCESSES IN NONLINEAR CRYSTALS

Abstract

A FORTRAN computer program has been developed which analyzes a nonlinear material to determine (a) the range of IR wavelengths that can be converted in a phase matched (PM) process, (b) the PM orientation of the wave vectors for critical and noncritical PM, (c) the angular aperture for PM conversion, and (d) the maximum number of resolvable lines for image conversion. These characteristics are determined as a function of IR wavelength for a given pump wavelength, pump radiation divergence, and length of nonlinear crystal.
