AbstractHigh power short wavelength broad-band laser has a lot of advantages for plasma experi- ments,such as increasing the absorption,improving target illumination uniformity and so on. Traditional third harmonic conversion scheme with KDP,however,can only be used for laserbandwidth less than 0.2nm. Therefore, to develop harmonic conversion techniques on broad- bandlaser is very important for ICF and x- ray laser research.For this purpose, new conversionschemes such as angular spectral dispersion(ASD)and crystal quadrature have been proposed. Based on our calculated results of the spectral and angular acceptanee for LBO crystal,inthis paper we have proposed to use LBO in traditional conversion scheme for efficientbroad- band laser harmonic conversion. We have studied all the phase- matching possibilities for frequency doubling and triplingbased on Sellmeier's equation. In our calculation,only the phase- matchings in principal planesare considered, since their large nonlinear coefficients.We have found that type Ⅰdoubling andtripling are only possible in xy plane,while typeⅡdoubling and tripling are in yz plane asshown in Table 3.By numericddl calculations of coupled wave equations,we found that only 4mmthickness is required for LBO when fundamental intensity is around 1.5GW/cm￣2,while 14mmthickness required for KDP crystal.The s pectral and angular acceptance for all interactions in4mm thick LBO at 1.054μm are calculated as shown in Table 5.the values for KDP are alsogiven as comparisons.As a md,in result,tripling spectral acceptance of LBO are much larger thanthose of KDP,efficient tripling can be achieved for bandwidth of about Inm in traditionaltripling scheme with LBO crystal.
