Abstract

The potential of borate crystals, BBO, LBO and BiBO, for high average power scaling of optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers is investigated. Up-to-date measurements of the absorption coefficients at 515 nm and the thermal conductivities are presented. The measured absorption coefficients are a factor of 10–100 lower than reported by the literature for BBO and LBO. For BBO, a large variation of the absorption coefficients was found between crystals from different manufacturers. The linear and nonlinear absorption coefficients at 515 nm as well as thermal conductivities were determined for the first time for BiBO. Further, different crystal cooling methods are presented. In addition, the limits to power scaling of OPCPAs are discussed.

Radial temperature change ΔTr in nonlinear optical crystals. (a) Temperature distribution in radial (vertical) and beam propagation direction (horizontal) in a BBO crystal for different cooling arrangements, calculated for 0.1 W of absorbed optical power using finite element analysis. Case a.1: free standing crystal (ΔTr = 19 K); case a.2: crystal with thermally contacted copper heat sink (ΔTr = 23 K); case a.3: same as in a.2 with additional optically contacted 500 μm sapphire layers on the front and rear crystal facets (ΔTr = 3 K). (b) Radial temperature change ΔTr with varying absorbed optical power Pabs for different cooling arrangements a.1 (solid lines), a.2 (dashed lines) and a.3 (dotted-dashed lines) and for different crystals (BBO blue lines, LBO red lines). In the case of Pabs = 0.1 W, the peak temperatures Tmax and the maximum radial temperature changes ΔTr are calculated (triangles, see legend). The selected cases with a peak temperature of Tmax = 373 K are shown (black squares).

The values for the bandgap Eg are experimental. The calculated values are in brackets [19–21].

Table 2 Thermal conductivities at room temperature, κ293K, for BBO, LBO and BiBO crystals. Thermal conductivity was determined via thermal diffusivity measurements. These measurements were performed in the phase matching (PM) direction on BBO, LBO and BiBO samples, and in the main crystallographic planes for BiBO. Other thermal conductivity values were taken from literature [21, 30, 31].

Table 4 Absorption coefficients at 515 nm for BBO, LBO and BiBO, estimated via finite element analysis of the heat dissipation using photo-thermal imaging measurements. Tmax is the temperature at the crystal (beam) center; ΔT is the temperature change from the center to the crystal surface; the incident pump power was 120±4 W. Surface reflections were taken into account for the simulations, and Ptc is the average transmitted pump power through the crystal. The error bars arise largely from the spread of ΔT. (a) The effect of the protective coating was studied comparing crystals BBO(A-p) and BBO(A). (b) Measurements of uncoated crystals.
