Abstract
A cartridge in an oven enclosure includes a pre-heating feature for an incoming purge gas before the purge gas enters the space around an optical component, such as a nonlinear optical crystal, in an oven cell. The incoming purge gas can be pre-heated as it travels along a gas pathway around a cartridge. The cartridge can include a heater. The oven enclosure can have two windows positioned such that a laser beam can enter through one of the windows, pass through the optical component, and exit through another of the windows. A second harmonic beam can be generated with the optical component.
