| Popis: | Crystals of N -(4-nitrophenyl)- l -prolinol (NPP) of large size and of high optical quality are grown in methanol solution starting from toluene nucleated seeds. The high second-order susceptibility of NPP is exploited to carry out frequency conversion processes (parametric generation and frequency up-conversion) at a very low input intensity. In particular, parametric generation from quantum noise, with 10% conversion efficiency, is obtained in a single pass of the pump pulse focused to an intensity around 10 8 W/cm 2 . |
