| contents | As one of the two types of backward second-harmonic generation (SHG), symmetric SHG exhibits some physical characteristics and application prospects that are distinct from those of forward SHG. It is generally realized through quasi-phase matching, which imposes more stringent requirements on the poling period and thus presents challenges for domain engineering. Although employing larger poling periods can ease fabrication, it inevitably reduces conversion efficiency, a drawback that can be compensated by using a cavity. In this work, we employed a semi-monolithic cavity to enhance the efficiency of 7th-order symmetric SHG, achieving a measured one-sided conversion efficiency of 7.2 %, which corresponds to a theoretical total efficiency of 14.4 %. This represents an improvement of more than three orders of magnitude compared with the single-pass case. In addition, the nonlinear coefficient of the crystal of ${d_{33}} = 4.8$ $\rm pm/V$ was estimated. |
