Abstract In recent years, a series of adiabatic passage techniques for atomic systems have been introduced into the field of nonlinear optics. We propose a theoretical model of the fourth-order three-process cascaded frequency conversion technique based on fractional stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (FSTIRAP). Building upon the STIRAP technique, the FSTIRAP technique splits the original third pump laser into two separate pump lasers, each subjected to Gaussian modulation. This achieves the simultaneous output of the first idler laser and the second idler laser with tunable output ratios at the end of the crystal, while ensuring the complete conversion of the signal laser. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the FSTIRAP technique enables highly efficient frequency conversion, with the total conversion efficiency showing robustness across a wide range of pump laser intensities, coupling delay parameters, and crystal temperatures. Additionally, the output ratio of the first idler laser to the second idler laser can be controlled by independently tuning the delay parameter or the crystal temperature.
