Abstract
Tunable monolithic cavity-based frequency converter pumped by a single-frequency laser where cavity resonance(s) are achieved by independently changing the temperatures of different sections of the crystal, including the periodically poled section and one or more adjacent, non-poled regions. Having independent control of the phase matching temperature and the cavity resonance for a down-converted beam increases the efficiency.
