In applicationlaser power is modulated prior to harmonic generation to a large part. Consequently modulation characteristics are influenced as a result of the non-linearity of harmonic generation. Within this paperstraight-forward approaches to calculate modulation key parameters (rise timefall timebandwidth and contrast ratio) of an acoustooptical modulator prior to harmonic generation stage are presented. The results will be compared to experimental data for third harmonic generation (THG) of a 1064 nm fs-laser which is power-modulated by a TeO2-AOM prior to THG. In the latter caserise time and fall time are significantly reduced to approximately 66% after THG both in experimental and analytical study. © 2012 Optical Society of America.
