Use and development of a CW titanium sapphire laser for nonlinear optics

A cw titanium sapphire laser pumped by an argon ion laser was used for experiments both in second harmonic generation using a non-linear crystal and for sum-frequency generation in an atomic vapour. In addition the laser was stabilised to sub-MHz levels. Using a crystal of potassium niobate (KNbO₃),...
