Abstract
A noncollinear second-harmonic-generation scheme that includes two gratings and a nonlinear optical crystal generates temporal solitons with a noncoll inear phase mismatch and frequency-chirped laser pulses. At 180-fs pulse du ration, 25-GW/cm(2) fundamental intensity, -7647.3-m(-1) wave-vector mismat ch, 66-fs delay time, and +/-3.07163 x 10(25) s(-2) frequency-chirp rates, temporal solitons with durations from 139 to 155 fs and Gaussian shapes can be obtained. The corresponding conversion efficiency is greater than 40%. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
