Abstract

An optical fourth-harmonic generation system (20) includes a resonant cavity configured to support electromagnetic radiation of a fundamental frequency and a fourth-harmonic generator disposed within the resonant cavity (22) produces electromagnetic radiation of a fourth-harmonic frequency by an interaction with radiation of the fundamental frequency. The fundamental radiation (26) is characterized by a p polarization that is complementary to an s polarization that characterizes the fourth-harmonic radiation. The fourth-harmonic generator has an output facet oriented substantially at a Brewster's angle with respect to the fundamental radiation to separate the fundamental radiation from the fourth-harmonic radiation as they emerge from the output facet.
