Abstract
We analyse optical parameters related to the generation of the harmoni cs of Nd:YAG laser radiation in different nonlinear crystals (KTP, LBO , KDP, ADP). In the case of non-focused Gaussian laser pulses, under t he depleted pump assumption, simple formulae for the calculus of the s econd harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency are deduced. The experiment ally measured angular acceptance width and SHG efficiency are compared with the theoretically calculated values.
