Abstract

The second harmonic pulse shape generated from ultrashort pulses is calculated. In long dispersive crystals the pulse width may be much broader than the incident pulse and the power conversion ratio may saturate at a low value. These effects should be prominent in LiNbO3 with 4 × 10−13 sec pulses.
