BBO Type I Phase Matching Angle: Calculating Type I Matching Angles for Other Negative Uniaxial Crystals

This document explains how the Type I phase matching angle calculation for BBO crystals can be adapted to compute corresponding angles for other negative uniaxial crystals by adjusting relevant parameters. To achieve more precise calculations, we can explore advanced computational approaches such as density functional theory-based methods that incorporate crystal structure optimization and nonlinear susceptibility calculations. The implementation typically involves solving the phase matching condition equation: n_ω(θ) = n_2ω(θ), where refractive indices are calculated using crystal-specific Sellmeier equations. Additionally, we can investigate related parameters including phase matching conditions (e.g., temperature-dependent bandwidth calculations) and transmission efficiency (implemented through Fresnel loss computations and walk-off angle corrections) to further optimize the computational results. Code implementation would typically require defining crystal optical axes, implementing iterative angle solvers, and incorporating dispersion relation functions for accurate wavelength-dependent calculations.
