Abstract

We propose a method to obtain the detuning angles of a frequency converter by tripling the frequency of a divergent Gaussian beam. The frequency tripling process of the divergent beam was first simulated. It is found that the detuning angles of the frequency converter are linearly related to the position of the maximum light intensity point of the third harmonic laser. The corresponding experiment was conducted, and the results agreed well with the theoretical analysis. This method measures the detuning angles of the frequency converter in only one measurement and within 1 min. The detuning angle measurement errors of KDP and KD*P crystals are less than 10 µrad and 36.5–61.9 µrad, respectively.
