Abstract

In this letter we experimentally demonstrate second harmonic conversion in the opaque region of a GaAs cavity with efficiencies of the order of 0.1% at 612nm, using 3ps pump pulses having peak intensities of order of 10MW/cm2. We show that the conversion efficiency of the inhomogeneous, phase-locked second harmonic component is a quadratic function of the cavity factor Q.
