Differential Frequency Generation (SFG)



Differential Frequency Generation (SFG)

ω1 + ω2 = ω3 (or 1/l1 + 1/l2 = 1/l3 in wavelength) It combines two low-energy (or low-frequency) photons into a high-energy photon. For example: 1064nm + 532nm -----> 355nm

ω1 - ω2 = ω3 (or 1/λ1 -1/λ2 = 1/λ3 in wavelength)

 
532 nm-810 nm --> 1550 nm
