Abstract

The explicit formula solutions of cascaded third-harmonic generation (THG) process were derived based on coupled-wave equations. Conversion efficiency (CE) with the simultaneous temporal walk-off effect is theoretically investigated by use of split-step Fourier transform method, and the obtained results show that the CE of cascaded THG can be adjusted by phase mismatch, i.e., Δk _SHG and Δk _THG . The walk-off effect can be eliminated to some extent by optimizing pump intensity. Using the multiple-grating periodically poled MgO-doped lithium niobate (MgO: PPLN), pumped by 50 fs optical parametric amplifier pulses, the CE of the cascaded THG was achieved (10.8%), and a detailed analysis was presented.
