Abstract Conventional approaches for obtaining the second and third harmonics typically employ several nonlinear crystals to generate them, which is restricted in application due to the complexity of the optical path and the bulkiness of the device. In this work, we present a comprehensive theoretical and numerical investigation of the simultaneous generation and competition between the second harmonic waves (SHW) and the third harmonic waves (THW) in a single nonlinear crystal. Through analyzing both small-signal and large-signal regimes, we reveal the complex coupling mechanisms between SHW and THW generation processes. Using periodically poled lithium niobate as an example, we demonstrate that the relative conversion efficiencies between SHW and THW can be freely adjusted by controlling the input fundamental wave power. This work provides new insights for designing efficient frequency converters capable of generating both SHW and THW outputs with controllable intensity ratios.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
