Efficiency of second-harmonic generation with Bessel beams
Phys. Review A 60:2438–2441.
A numerical model is used to investigate the conversion
efficiency of second-harmonic generation with
"nondiffracting" Bessel beams. We experimentally validate the
model and show, in contrast to a previous prediction, that
the conversion efficiency is always less than for Boyd-
Kleinman focused Gaussian beams. [S1050-2947(99)02909-1].
