Zusammenfassung

Aufgrund der mit den diodengepumpten Lasern erreichbaren hohen Strahlqualität lassen sich optisch nichtlineare Prozesse sehr effizient durchführen, da hierfür große Leistungsdichten und große Wechselwirkungslängen wie auch stabile single-frequency-Laserstrahlung von wesentlichem Vorteil sind. Dies ist gerade im unteren Leistungsbereich, bei Lasern mit kleineren Durchschnittsleistungen, von Bedeutung. Infolgedessen sind zahlreiche neue Konfigurationen entstanden, nicht zuletzt beeinflußt auch durch bessere optisch nichtlineare Materialien. Von den vielen sich hierbei ergebenden Möglichkeiten soll im folgenden zunächst die besonders häufig angewandte Frequenzverdopplung diskutiert werden. Hierfür bieten sich bei Lasern niedrigerer Ausgangsleistungen, d. h. insbesondere auch bei kontinuierlich gepumpten Lasern, zwei Methoden an, die denjenigen des resonanten Pumpens in gewisser Weise sehr ähnlich sind. Dies sind die sogenannte “intracavity”-Frequenzverdopplung sowie die externe resonante Frequenzverdopplung. Darüber hinaus wird auch das Verfahren der Selbstfrequenzverdopplung behandelt. Weiterhin werden neuere optische parametrische Oszillatoren sowie bei Raumtemperatur betriebene “upconversion”-Laser diskutiert.
