SFG / DFG Wavelengths calculator

Sum- and difference-frequency wavelengths for two input photons.

Category: Nonlinear Optics

Formula: 1/λsfg = 1/λ1+1/λ2 · 1/λdfg = |1/λ1−1/λ2|

Inputs

InputParameterUnitDefault
λ1l1nm800
λ2l2nm1064

Result with the default inputs

  • SFG: 456.6524 nm
  • DFG: 3224.2424 nm

Open it with your own values: put each input in the address as a parameter, for example /calculators/sfg-dfg-wavelengths?l1=800. A unit other than the listed one goes in <parameter>_unit.
