摘要
We performed and studied cascaded third-harmonic generation (THG) in a quasiperiodically poled KTP (QPPKTP) crystal allowing simultaneous phase-matching of the two cascading steps omega + omega -> 2 omega and 2 omega + omega -> 3 omega. The phase-matching was achieved at the fundamental wavelength lambda(omega) = 1587 nm when the QPPKTP crystal was heated to 95 degrees C. The energy conversion efficiency reached 40% in the picosecond regime for a fundamental energy of 20 mu J that corresponds to an intensity of 1.5 GW/cm(2). It is the highest value of THG efficiency ever reported to the best of our knowledge. The modeling in the case of the depleted pump regime accurately described the experiments.
