Jm. Auerbach et al., PERTURBATION-THEORY FOR ELECTRIC-FIELD AMPLITUDE AND PHASE RIPPLE TRANSFER IN FREQUENCY-DOUBLING AND TRIPLING, Applied optics, 36(3), 1997, pp. 606-612
A theory is presented for the transfer of a perturbation of the electr
ic field from the input to the output of a frequency converter. The tr
ansfer relationship for the field ripple is shown to depend on the pla
ne-wave operating parameters of the converter. Predictions of the theo
ry are shown to be in excellent agreement with full numerical simulati
ons of doubling and tripling and experiments measuring ripple transfer
in frequency doubling. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
