Widely tunable all-solid-state optical parametric oscillator for the visible and near infrared
An all-solid-state optical parametric oscillator (OPO) has been developed in which the signal and idler waves can be tuned over the ranges 455-665 and 760-1620 nm, respectively, with the potential for covering the entire range 420-2300 nm. The OPO uses a critical type I phase-matching geometry in li...

Summary: | An all-solid-state optical parametric oscillator (OPO) has been developed in which the signal and idler waves can be tuned over the ranges 455-665 and 760-1620 nm, respectively, with the potential for covering the entire range 420-2300 nm. The OPO uses a critical type I phase-matching geometry in lithium triborate and is pumped at 355 nm by frequency-tripled radiation from a diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG laser. Oscillation thresholds (minimum 0.3 mJ), pump depletions (>35%), and linewidths of the OPO are reported. |
