has gloss | eng: An optical frequency multiplier is a nonlinear optical device, in which photons interacting with a nonlinear material are effectively "combined" to form new photons with greater energy, and thus higher frequency (and shorter wavelength). Two types of devices are currently common, frequency doublers often based on lithium niobate (LN), lithium tantalate (LT), potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) or lithium triborate (LBO), and frequency triplers typically made of potassium dihydrogen phosphate or commonly known as KDP. Both are widely used in optical experiments that use lasers as a light source. |
lexicalization | eng: Optical frequency multiplier |
instance of | (noun) an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation; an optical device that produces an intense monochromatic beam of coherent light optical maser, laser |
