Second-harmonic generation based on quasi-phase matching: a novel configuration
Optics Letters
|November 3, 2009
Abstract:
We consider the possibility of generating second-harmonic radiation by the interaction of two counterpropagating fundamental waves in a quasi-phase-matched second-order nonlinear medium in a waveguide. The conversion efficiency reaches a maximum at an optimum pump intensity. For a large range of pump intensities below a certain pump intensity the efficiency is larger than that for the copropagating configuration. The saturation intensities at which the efficiency reaches 72% for poled KTiOPO(4) and LiNbO(3) can be achieved with lasers now available.

01:21Generation of Three-Phase Voltage
A three-phase AC generator has a rotor with a rotating magnet placed within the stator mounted with the stationary three-phase winding to generate three-phase voltages via mutual induction. These windings are evenly distributed around the inner circumference of the stator and are arranged 120 electrical degrees apart. Three-phase stator windings consist of three separate coils or groups of coils, known as phases, each connected in Y (star) configuration or Delta configuration.

01:12Double Resonance Techniques: Overview
Double resonance techniques in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy involve the simultaneous application of two different frequencies or radiofrequency pulses to manipulate and observe two distinct nuclear spins. One important application of double resonance is spin decoupling, which selectively suppresses coupling with one type of nucleus while observing the NMR signal from another nucleus, simplifying the spectrum and enhancing resolution.
