In
order to obtain maximum conversion efficiency, angle tilting
is normally used to reach phase-matching direction. There
are two axes for tilting crystal angles as shown in the right
figure. Because the NLO crystals provided by Dream
Lasers are normally cut in a principal crystal
plane, conversion efficiency isn't sensitive to the angle
tilting around n-axis. However, it is very sensitive to the
angle tilting around m-axis which is called tilting axis of
NLO crystals and is normal to marked surface. Customers have
to pay great attention when rotating the crystal around m-axis.
A crystal mount with angle accuracy of about 5 arc second
is recommended.
