基于抗灰迹KTP晶体的单一及复合非线性频率转换研究的中期报告 Abstract This report presents the progress in the study of single and composite nonlinear frequency conversion based on anti-gray tracking KTP crystals. The goal of this research is to explore the potential applications of KTP crystals in frequency conversion, and to investigate the effects of crystal length, temperature, and pumping power on the frequency conversion efficiency and output characteristics. In this mid-term report, we summarize the research plan, experimental setup, and initial experimental results. Introduction Nonlinear frequency conversion is an important technology in optical communications, sensing, spectroscopy, and quantum optics. Among various nonlinear optical crystals, potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) is widely used due to its high nonlinear coefficient, broad transparency range, and easy fabrication. However, conventional KTP crystals suffer from gray tracking, a process of crystal degradation and discoloration under high optical intensity or elevated temperature. Anti-gray tracking KTP crystals have been developed to overcome this issue, which have shown improved stability and performance in frequency conversion. In this research, we aim to investigate the nonlinear frequency conversion properties of anti-gray tracking KTP crystals in single and composite configurations. Research Plan The research plan consists of three main tasks: 1. Characterization of anti-gray tracking KTP crystals: In this task, we will obtain the linear and nonlinear optical properties of the KTP crystals, such as refractive indices, absorption coefficients, second-order nonlinearity, and chromatic dispersion. A set of experiments will be carried out to verify the anti-gray tracking performance of the crystals under different conditions. 2. Single-frequency conversion: In this task, we will investigate the frequency doubling and parametric down-conversion (PDC) properties of the KTP crystal. The crystal will be pumped by a continuous-
