Proposed Third‐Harmonic Generation in Phase‐Matched Metal Vapors

摘要: This letter considers the use of alkali metal vapors, phase matched with inert buffer gases for generation third‐harmonic radiation. For example, calculations show that 1.8 MW will be required 50% conversion 1.06‐μ radiation to 0.35‐μ using a 1:412 part mixture rubidium and xenon. Generation frequencies above ionization potential vapors is considered.
