Second harmonic generation in Cd _{1- x}Mn _xTe

Kowalczyk, L.

Infrared second-harmonic generation in Cd _{1- x}Mn _xTe has been experimentally demonstrated. The nonlinear susceptibility d₁₄(-2 w, w, w) referred to the known value d₁₄ for CdTe has been determined for Cd _{1- x}Mn _xTe ( x⩽0. .5) from measurements of second-harmonic power using a Q-switched Co ₂ laser. The values of nonlinear susceptibility are much bigger for Cd _{1- x}Mn xTe than for CdTe. It has been proved that Cd _{1- x}Mn _xTe crystals can be used for high-power efficiency second-harmonic generation of laser infrared radiation.
