The measurement was performed by relative comparison with the intensity of the second harmonic of urea. In addition, when the intensity was weak, visual observation was performed. In particular, in order to distinguish between the light emission (mainly yellow and red light emission) caused by two-photon absorption of the fundamental wave and the second harmonic, a spectrometer is installed.
Only the second harmonic was measured. Furthermore, the main purpose of powder method measurement is to determine the presence or absence of nonlinearity in the substance, and the intensity ratio is a reference value for the magnitude of specific linearity.

It is possible to create a wavelength conversion element using glass as the cladding material, input YAG laser light, and generate its second harmonic. Furthermore, as another method, it is possible to create a waveguide type wavelength conversion element in the same manner and generate the second harmonic. The Cerenkov radiation method was used as the phase matching method at this time. However, the present invention is not limited to these, and phase matching between waveguides is also possible. Wavelength converted waves are not only limited to second harmonics, but can also be used for third harmonic, sum and difference frequency generation.

2. Next, the above compound is made into a single crystal, a bulk single crystal is cut out from the single crystal, and a YAG laser beam is input to generate the second harmonic. Angular phase matching was used as the phase matching method at this time. These bulk single crystals can be used not only outside the laser cavity, but also within the cavity of a solid-state laser such as an LD-pumped solid-state laser, thereby increasing the wavelength conversion efficiency. Furthermore, the wavelength conversion efficiency can also be increased by placing it within the resonator of an external resonator type LD.
