High conversion efficiency continuous wave quasi-phase-matched second harmonic generation in MgO doped stoichiometric lithium tantalate

In this paper, for the first time we have demonstrated a continuous wave single-pass extracavity frequency doubling by use of MgO doped stoichiometric lithium tantalite (PP-MgO: SLT). The maximum output of the second harmonic green light is 905mW with the pumping power of 7.69W. The second harmonic conversion efficiency is 11.77%. We have theoretically calculated the tolerance of the temperature of SLT SHG which is about 1.5°C. The experimental tolerance of the temperature is consistent with the calculated value.
