Numerical modeling of nonlinear optical conversion with highly distorted beams
Abstract
Techniques are presented to model optical nonlinear frequency conversion of highly distorted beams with M-squared values as high as 30. Random superpositions of Gaussian-Hermite modes are used to create the field distributions of the incident beams. Split-step Fourier transform techniques are used for the calculation of nonlinear conversion.
