Product description
G&H Periodically Poled Lithium Niobate (PPLN) crystals enable efficient mid-IR frequency conversion in compact laser systems.
PPLN crystals with poling periods of 25.5–28.7 µm or 28.5–29.9 µm and a 0.5 mm aperture are designed for efficient quasi-phase-matched frequency conversion in the mid-infrared spectral range. These grating periods are optimized for difference frequency generation (DFG), sum frequency generation (SFG), and optical parametric oscillation (OPO) using near-IR pump sources.
The narrow 0.5 mm aperture enables compact integration into precision photonic systems where space is limited. Each crystal is fabricated with tight tolerances, stable domain inversion, and high optical quality to ensure reliable and consistent performance in demanding nonlinear applications.
Phase matching over very long propagation lengths is possible with our congruently grown PPLN manufactured from highly uniform Z-axis wafers.
