phase matching in a sentence
Examples
- To achieve this a phase matching condition is required between the propagation constant of the mth mode in the waveguide \ beta _ m and the incident light at an angle \ theta _ m normal from the waveguide surface.
- The wavelengths of the signal and the idler are determined by the phase matching condition, which is changed e . g . by temperature or, in bulk optics, by the angle between the incident pump laser ray and the optical axes of the crystal.
- Periodic poling uses the largest value of lithium niobate's nonlinear tensor, d 33 = 27 pm / V . Quasi-phase matching gives maximum efficiencies that are 2 / ? ( 64 % ) of the full d 33, about 17 pm / V.
- These crystals have the necessary properties of being strongly birefringent ( necessary to obtain phase matching, see below ), having a specific crystal symmetry, being transparent for both the impinging laser light and the frequency-doubled wavelength, and having high damage thresholds, which makes them resistant against the high-intensity laser light.
- The spectral intensity can be found via a quadratic equation using the intensity of the dc and ac terms ( filtered independently via a similar method above ) or more commonly from an independent measurement ( typically the intensity of the dc term from the calibration trace ), since this provides the best signal to noise and no distortion from the upconversion process ( e . g . spectral filtering from the phase matching function of a'thick'crystal ).
