Abstract: | <p> Using a Q-spoiled Nd-glass laser, an experimental investigation of frequency doubling in NiSO4•6 H2O was carried out. The frequency doubling was observed to occur at a phase matching angle of 56° ± 1°. Experimentally, it is shown that the fundamental frequency at λ = 1.06 μm is an O-ray while the doubled frequency at λ = .53μm is an E-ray. Since the amplitude for electric dipole frequency doubling in NiSO4•6 H2O is zero, these observations are unusual. The observations are attributed to magnetic dipole and/or electric quadrupole frequency doubling. Evidence to support this view comes from the magnitude of the effect and from its azimuthal dependence. The electric quadrupole type frequency doubling is consistent with the data only if the susceptibility coefficients satisfy the relation QאEE =1/2 (QאEE - QאEE ) 1212 1111 1122 </p> |
