Simulation of second harmonic generation in an external bow-tie cavity with LBO nonlinear crystal

This application note describes the simulation of frequency conversion in a CW resonant external bow-tie cavity performed by Commod Pro. Simulations are compared with the experimental results obtained by Sergey Kobtsev and Alexander Zavyalov. Commod Pro provides information on geometrical cavity design and second harmonic generation with and without taking walk-off into account. The second harmonic generation efficiency has been investigated as a function of the distance between the two concave mirrors. Commod Pro simulates transverse multi-mode generation and propagation when the pump is not matching the fundamental cavity mode.
