Temperature control is important in second harmonic generation (SHG) based on non-critical phase matching, which is widely used in the accelerator field to generate drive lasers. To further improve the stability of the drive laser for the DC-SRF photocathode electron gun at Peking University, a high-precision temperature control oven for lithium borate (LBO) crystals was developed. The oven's structure was designed to minimize heat exchange with the external environment. The temperature control circuit uses a thermoelectric cooler to ensure the temperature stability of the sampling circuit. The program utilizes a cascaded proportional-integral-derivative and an anti-saturation integral algorithm to achieve high-precision temperature control. Experiments showed that fluctuation at the working temperature of the LBO crystal in this oven was within ± 0.009 °C, corresponding to a root mean square (RMS) jitter of 0.003 °C, and the long-term power fluctuation of the 13.7 W green laser generated with SHG was less than 1%.
