Abstract
Phase-matched second-harmonic generation is obtained in various crystals by use of the tunable picosecond output of the free-electron laser for infrared experiments (FELIX) as the pump source in the mid-IR range from 2.75 to . Deviations from the phase-matching curve calculated from Boyd’s refractive-index data are observed. Furthermore, the optical damage threshold of the crystals has been measured to be at the wavelength. holds great promise for parametric interaction in the range.
