This is a LaTeX version of the class notes which we are in the
process of typing up.
Jeff's Original PHYS523 Lecture notes
This is a more or less complete set of
hand written notes.
Supplemental Notes
- A summary of phase matching with birefringence: [phasematching.pdf]
- An example calculation of the Type I phase matching angle. [PMAngleCalc.PDF]
- Notes on linear propagation in an anisotropic medium. [LinPropAniso.pdf]
- The statement of a problem on "Crystal Orientation for Phasematching" and its
solution.*
This problem involves the calculation of the phase matching angle as well as the polar angle which maximizes d_effective.
[*] Note: read entire solution since there is a correction to the
statement of the problem at the end of the solution set
