Nonlinear optical properties of K2La(NO3)5.2H2O and K2Ce(NO3)5.2H2O

Potassium lanthanum nitrate dihydrate (KLN) and its cerium analog are water soluble nonlinear crystals with coefficients about 3 times larger than KDP. KLN is noncritically phasematched at room temperature for Type I frequency doubling of 1.064 micron light. KLN and potassium cerium nitrate are also...

Description
Summary:Potassium lanthanum nitrate dihydrate (KLN) and its cerium analog are water soluble nonlinear crystals with coefficients about 3 times larger than KDP. KLN is noncritically phasematched at room temperature for Type I frequency doubling of 1.064 micron light. KLN and potassium cerium nitrate are also nearly noncritical for Type II frequency doubling of 0.90-0.95 micron light. (Author (revised))
