Focussing

• Looking at the equation for the SHG power

I(2w)~l2I(w)2

• Make l as long as possible?

• Focus as tightly as possible to minimise A and maximise I=P/A?

• Limits to length of crystal and focussing are set by

  • angular acceptance
  • spectral acceptance
  • temperature acceptance
  • temporal acceptance
