Optimized tunable optical parametric sources using cylindrical nonlinear crystals

Continuous spectral tuning (1420 nm-1700 nm and 2800 nm-4200 nm) is obtained in an optical parametric generator using a cylindrical ppLN, with high efficiency (30%). Optimized phase-matched OPO using cylindrical KTP is also reported and compared to numerical modelling.
