The pith

Both BiBO and LBO crystals produce 32 watts of 515 nm light from a 57-watt 1030 nm laser at 56 percent conversion efficiency.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper compares single-pass second harmonic generation in BiBO and LBO crystals using a high-power picosecond laser at 1030 nm. It shows that both crystals achieve the same high output power and efficiency when converting to green light at 515 nm. This provides practical benchmarks for choosing crystals in high-average-power frequency conversion applications. The study measures power dependence, stability, beam quality, and thermal effects for both materials.

Core claim

In a systematic experimental comparison, both bismuth triborate (BiBO) and lithium triborate (LBO) nonlinear crystals, when driven by a 1.3 ps, 91 kHz laser at 1030 nm with up to 57 W average input power, produce 32 W of second harmonic output at 515 nm, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 56 percent. This represents the highest reported SH output power in the green spectral region using a BiBO crystal.

What carries the argument

Single-pass second-harmonic generation (SHG) in BiBO and LBO crystals, where the nonlinear optical properties convert the infrared input to green output light.

If this is right

  • Both crystals show comparable performance in terms of power conversion, beam quality, and stability under high average power operation.
  • The results allow direct selection of BiBO or LBO based on other factors like angular acceptance or thermal properties for specific applications.
  • High conversion efficiency of 56% is demonstrated without apparent damage or significant thermal issues at these power levels.
  • Quantitative data on pulse duration, spectral properties, and acceptance bandwidth is provided for design purposes.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • Similar performance suggests that cost or availability might decide between BiBO and LBO for future green laser systems.
  • Extending to even higher powers could test if one crystal handles thermal load better.
  • These benchmarks could inform designs for other wavelengths or pulse durations in nonlinear frequency conversion.

Load-bearing premise

The input average power delivered to the crystal is accurately measured without significant unaccounted losses or fluctuations affecting the efficiency calculation.

What would settle it

Independent verification of the output power at 515 nm using a calibrated power meter on a separate setup with the same input conditions.

We present a systematic experimental comparison of single-pass second-harmonic generation (SHG) in bismuth triborate (BiBO) and lithium triborate (LBO) nonlinear crystals, driven by a 1.3 ps, 91 kHz laser at 1030 nm with up to 57 W of average input power. Both crystals yielded 32 W of second harmonic (SH) output at 515 nm, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 56 %, which to the best of our knowledge represents the highest SH output power reported in the green spectral region using a BiBO crystal. Power dependence, long-term stability, beam quality, pulse duration, spectral properties, thermal effects, and angular acceptance bandwidth are characterized and directly compared for both crystals. These results provide quantitative performance benchmarks to guide the selection of nonlinear crystals for high-average-power, ultrashort-pulse frequency conversion near 1030 nm.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The manuscript presents a systematic experimental comparison of single-pass second-harmonic generation (SHG) in bismuth triborate (BiBO) and lithium triborate (LBO) nonlinear crystals, driven by a 1.3 ps, 91 kHz laser at 1030 nm with up to 57 W average input power. Both crystals yielded 32 W of second harmonic output at 515 nm with 56% conversion efficiency, claimed as the highest SH output power reported for BiBO in the green spectral region. Power dependence, long-term stability, beam quality, pulse duration, spectral properties, thermal effects, and angular acceptance bandwidth are characterized and directly compared for both crystals.

Significance. If the reported power levels are accurately measured, this work supplies useful quantitative benchmarks for high-average-power ultrashort-pulse frequency conversion near 1030 nm. The side-by-side characterization of BiBO and LBO, including thermal and stability data, offers practical guidance for crystal selection in high-power laser systems. The direct experimental comparison and reported performance metrics constitute the primary value.

major comments (2)
  1. [Experimental setup and Results] The headline result of 32 W SH output at 56% efficiency from up to 57 W input is load-bearing for the central claim and the 'highest reported for BiBO' assertion. The manuscript should explicitly detail the power measurement protocol, including meter calibration traceability, subtraction of Fresnel losses at crystal surfaces, and any wavelength-specific calibration factors between 1030 nm and 515 nm.
  2. [Results and Discussion] No error bars, uncertainty estimates, or full raw dataset are referenced for the power and efficiency values. This omission leaves open the possibility of uncharacterized systematic effects in the quantitative claims and undermines assessment of the long-term stability and thermal characterization results.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Figures] Figure captions and axis labels should clearly indicate whether plotted powers are measured before or after the crystal and whether they include or exclude surface reflections.
  2. [Abstract and Introduction] The abstract and introduction could more explicitly state the repetition rate (91 kHz) and pulse duration (1.3 ps) when first introducing the laser parameters.

Simulated Author's Rebuttal

2 responses · 0 unresolved

We thank the referee for the constructive and detailed comments, which have helped us improve the clarity and transparency of the experimental methods and data presentation in our manuscript. We have revised the manuscript to explicitly detail the power measurement protocol and to incorporate uncertainty estimates with error bars. These changes do not alter the reported results but strengthen the supporting information for the headline claims. We address each major comment below.

read point-by-point responses
  1. Referee: [Experimental setup and Results] The headline result of 32 W SH output at 56% efficiency from up to 57 W input is load-bearing for the central claim and the 'highest reported for BiBO' assertion. The manuscript should explicitly detail the power measurement protocol, including meter calibration traceability, subtraction of Fresnel losses at crystal surfaces, and any wavelength-specific calibration factors between 1030 nm and 515 nm.

    Authors: We agree that a detailed power measurement protocol is necessary to substantiate the quantitative results and the claim of highest reported SH output power for BiBO. In the revised manuscript we have added a dedicated paragraph in the Experimental Setup section specifying the following: average powers at 1030 nm were measured with a calibrated thermal power meter (Ophir 12A-P, NIST-traceable calibration certificate) and at 515 nm with a silicon photodiode meter (Thorlabs S120C, manufacturer calibration traceable to NIST). Fresnel losses were calculated from the Sellmeier equations for each crystal and wavelength and subtracted to report internal conversion efficiency. Wavelength-specific responsivity was applied using the meters' calibrated curves, cross-checked against a reference integrating sphere. The reported 32 W and 56 % values already incorporate these corrections; the added text makes the protocol fully reproducible. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [Results and Discussion] No error bars, uncertainty estimates, or full raw dataset are referenced for the power and efficiency values. This omission leaves open the possibility of uncharacterized systematic effects in the quantitative claims and undermines assessment of the long-term stability and thermal characterization results.

    Authors: We acknowledge the value of explicit uncertainty quantification. In the revised manuscript we have added error bars to Figures 2, 3, 5 and 6 representing the root-sum-square of meter accuracy (3 % for thermal, 5 % for photodiode) and the standard deviation from three repeated measurements at each point. The peak efficiency is now stated as 56 ± 3 %. For the long-term stability trace we report the RMS fluctuation (0.8 % for BiBO, 1.1 % for LBO). Because the complete raw time-series dataset exceeds practical public-repository limits, we have added a data-availability statement indicating that the key datasets are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request. These additions allow readers to evaluate possible systematic effects directly. revision: yes
