Journal of Russian Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

The results of a theoretical study of quasi-phase matched processes at self-frequency conversion in the Q-switched regime are presented. A scheme containing a periodically poled active nonlinear crystal and an acousto-optical modulator inserted inside the cavity is considered. Solutions of the set of equations describing such scheme are obtained by numerical methods. The time dynamics of the self-frequency doubling, self-frequency summing, and self-parametric frequency conversion processes are studied in detail. The energy characteristics of the radiation are also calculated and compared with those in the stationary regime.
