摘要
We experimentally investigate the second-harmonic generation of a high-order Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) mode under the quasi-phase-matching (QPM) configuration. First, we introduce a simple method to observe the azimuthal (l) and radial (p) indices of the high-order LG modes. Based on the astigmatic transformation technique, l and p are revealed in the number of dark stripes of the converted pattern in the focal plane. Then, using this efficient method of measurement, we demonstrate in experiments a second-harmonic LG mode with its radial and azimuthal indices being twice those of the inputted fundamental wave through QPM in a periodically poled KTP crystal. Our results provide a feasible way to obtain simultaneously the LG modes with larger radial and azimuthal indices. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America
