Simulation of Broadening the Second Harmonic Spectrum in KDP by Chirp Pulse Pumping

Abstract

The conditions of broadening the second harmonic spectrum in KDP upon pumping by a negatively chirped pulse of fundamental frequency with central wavelength of 950 nm are analyzed numerically. It is shown that broadening of the spectrum (K = 1.4) is mainly limited by difference in group velocities of radiation pulse between first and second harmonics. The article is based on materials of the report at the first All-Russian scientific conference with international participation "YENISEI PHOTONICS – 2020"
