Dependence of the periodically poled nonlinear-optical lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal temperature on laser power in the course of laser frequency conversion was measured using piezoelectric resonance. Crystal’s temperature tuning curves are precisely measured using concept of the equivalent temperature. Both optical absorption and heat transfer coefficients of the crystal are measured employing kinetics of the crystal equivalent temperature.
