Abstract
We present sum-frequency generation (SFG) characteristics of CSB3O5 cr ystal (CBO), The effective nonlinear-optical coefficient of CBO in the ultraviolet range is close to its maximum. High-efficiency SFG with a picosecond Nd:YAG laser with output wavelengths of 355 and 266 nm was achieved. Experiments showed that CBO can be used under high power de nsity without damage to the crystal. (C) 1997 Optical Society of Ameri ca.
