Frequency doubling of 10.6 micrometer radiation from a TEA laser in polycrystalline zinc selenide
Abstract
The angle distribution of 5.3 micrometer radiation has been measured and the conversion factor determined for a TEA laser. Values obtained for the conversion factor are discussed and compared with calculated values for single crystalline zinc selenide. The practical applications of 5.3 micrometer power is limited by surface damage in the material at high irradiation level.
