Assignment 9, solutions:

Problem 1:

The SHG conversion efficiency is h given by
h = P2w/Pw = 2(m0/e0)3/2 ((wdl)2/no3) (sin2(Dkl/2)/(Dkl/2)2) Pw/A, 
where

Dk

=

k2w – 2kw

k

=

2p/l

eo and mo

=

permittivity and magnetic permeability of free space, respectively

n0

=

index of refraction

w

=

angular frequency of the incident light

d

=

second-order coefficient

l

=

length of the crystal

A

=

beam area

For proper phase matching we have Dk = 0, sin2(Dkl/2)/(Dkl/2)2 = 1.
For the Nd:YAG laser we have l = 1.06 10-6 m, w = 1.78 1015 /s.
For KD*P we have no = 1.49, ne = 1.46 at 1.06 mm, d = 0.42 *(1/9) * 10-22C3/(J V3).
With Pw/A = 2MW/(p(2.5 10-3)2) and h = 0.2 we can solve for l.
l = 3 cm.

Problem 2:

The SHG conversion efficiency is h given by
h = P2w/Pw = 2(m0/e0)3/2 ((wdl)2/no3) (sin2(Dkl/2)/(Dkl/2)2) Pw/A.
For proper phase matching we have Dk = 0, sin2(Dkl/2)/(Dkl/2)2 = 1.

Here
Pw/A = [(200 10-3 J)/ )2 10-8 s)]/(p(2 10-3)2) = 107 W /(1.26 10-5 m2) = 7.96 1011 W/m2,
l = 0.02 m, d = 0.45 *(1/9) * 10-22C3/(J V3), w = 1.78 1015 /s, no = 1.49.
Solve for h.

h= 0.81
P2w = hPw = 8.1 MW. I2w = P2w /A = 6.43 1011 W/m2.

Problem 3:

(a)  The incident ray is a meridional ray.  Assume the photon is reflected.  
For the incident photon we have
pxi = -psin(q0 + qi),  pzi = -pcos(q0 + qi).
For the reflected photon we have, using the law of reflection, qr = qI,
pxr = psin(q0 - qi),  pzr = pcos(q0 - qi).

The momentum transferred to the sphere is Dp = pipf.
Dpx = -p[sin(q0 + qi) + sin(q0 - qi)] = -2p sinq0 cosqi.
Dpz = -p[cos(q0 + qi) + cos(q0 - qi)] = -2p cosq0 cosqi.
For a given q0, when averaging over all angles f, Dpx averages to zero.
