Abstract :
Efficient second-harmonic generation at 5321 Å has been achieved in CDA and CD*A. At 50-MW pump power, loss-free peak power-conversion efficiency of 57 percent and 45 percent were obtained in CDA and CD*A, respectively, The nonlinear optical constant, corrected for multimode fluctuations, was found to be d_{36}(CDA) = d_{36}(CD*A) = (0.96 \\pm 0.11) \\times 10^{-9} ESU, which corresponds to d_{36}(CDA) = d_{36}(CD*A) = 0.92 \\times d_{36}(KDP) . In addition, the temperature variation of the birefringence d(n_{2}^{e} - n_{1}^{o})/dT has been measured to be (8.0 \\pm 0.2) \\times 10^{-6}\\deg C-1for CDA and (7.8 \\pm 0.2) \\times 10^{-6}\\deg C-1for CD*A.
