Abstract
We measured the two-photon absorption (TPA) cross sections inside (beta) -BBO crystal during UV harmonic generation. We found that the 2-photon absorption is dominating the absorption effect inside the BBO crystal during UV harmonic generation. Both 2 UV photons and 1 UV photon + 1 fundamental photon absorption cross sections are significant. Possible explanations are presented, and compared with other nonlinear otpical crystals. Thermal profiles inside the crystal as a result of the strong absorption processes are discussed through a computer program that simulates the heat dissipation process. We conclude that TPA is the significant factor in high power scaling of UV harmonic generation inside nonlinear optical crystals.
