National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Abstract	We have grown and characterized LaCOB, a new member to the GdCOB family of nonlinear crystals. LaCOB has a d(sub eff) of 0.52 plus or minus 0.05 pm/V and an angular sensitivity of 1224 plus or minus 184 (cm-rad)-1 for type I frequency doubling at 1064 nm. The d(sub alpha,beta,beta) and d(sub gamma,beta,beta) coefficients of the nonlinear optical tensor for LaCOB, GdCOB, and YCOB were determined to have values of 0.26 plus or minus 0.04 pm/V and 1.69 plus or minus 0.17 pm/V, respectively. Results of phase-matching angle measurements at 1064 nm and 1047 nm predict LaCOB to be non-critically phase-matched (NCPM) at 1042 plus or minus 1.5 nm. We also estimate the thermal sensitivity of LaCOB to be less than 0.1 (cm-degreesC)-1.
