Abstract
This paper analytically describes fourth-harmonic generation by utilizing the phenomena of total internal reflection quasiphase-matching in a parallel slab geometry of uniaxial crystal made of magnesium oxide doped Lithium Niobate. The
effects of optical loss, namely, linear absorption, GH shift, and reflection loss on account of surface roughness, have been
considered in this analysis. Finally, the analysis has also taken into account the cataclysmic effect that arises from the
nonlinear law of reflection. The effects of variation of related slab parameters, i.e., length, thickness on the fourth harmonic
efficiency, have also been studied. When compared to other approaches (e.g., Cascade, periodic polling) utilized for fourthharmonic generation, this scheme greatly increased the conversion efficiency. The maximum conversion efficiency obtained
for an operating wavelength of 750 nm is 2.05%.
