Abstract
Herein, on the basis of expressions for the refractive indices of isonormal waves, the possibility of performing collinear phase matching for optical parametric generation in arbitrary directions of a biaxial KTA crystal under pumping by radiation of a YAG:Nd laser is analyzed. The tuning curves that determine the tuning range of the signal and idler for type-I and II-type phase-matching and arbitrary angles θ and φ in cases where the tuning is carried out along the angle θ at a fixed angle φ and vice versa are calculated. The effective nonlinear coefficient is determined. It is shown that their maximum value is achieved аt a polar angle θ = 90° and type-II phase-matching. For the case of generation of eye-safe radiation the spectral and angular phase matching widths were estimated, as well as gain widths of KTA-OPO under monochromatic pumping.
