We describe a method that overcomes the observed saturation effect in cross polarized wave (XPW) generation. The previously reported internal efficiencies for XPW generation are known to be limited to around 15% whatever the length of the nonlinear medium and/or the input intensity values are. At the opposite, the theoretical limit had been estimated to be close to 25%. Here we show that using two thin BaF(2) crystals separated at optimum distance the saturation level of XPW generation efficiency can be drastically increased. An internal efficiency of 30% is demonstrated experimentally using two BaF(2) crystals.
