Book excerpt: This report describes the first operation of a CW directly diode-pumped optical parametric oscillator using periodically poled lithium niobate as a nonlinear medium. Degenerate oscillation of a doubly resonant device was successful. This device shows potential as a CW source in the near infrared region from 1.3 - 5 microns.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of continuous wave singly resonant optical parametric oscillators (CW SROs) has been limited in the past mainly because of the high threshold powers necessary. Thresholds of SROs are orders of magnitude greater than doubly resonant oscillators. While lithium niobate has long been in use as a nonlinear material, periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) recently emerged as an excellent source for CW SROs. Quasi-phase matching with PPLN has allowed access to the higher nonlinear coefficients of lithium niobate permitting construction of CW SROs. By placing the OPO within the laser resonator, threshold should be significantly reduced. We have designed, built, and investigated an optical parametric oscillator within a laser cavity to access the high circulating fields within the resonator. The intracavity OPO acted as the output coupler for the laser and ideally the total down converted power from the OPO should approach the maximum output power available from th pump laser under optimal output coupling. PPLN OPOs were built within the resonators of a lamp-pumped Nd:YAG laser and a diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser. Combined idler output at 3.3 microns from both ends of an intracavity 30-mm PPLN OPO was 1.15 W. Output of the Nd:YVO4 laser optimized for 1.064-micron output with the same resonator was 5 W. The entire device, except for power supply and cooler, fit on a 1' x 2' breadboard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invention of the laser was one of the towering achievements of the twentieth century. At the opening of the twenty-first century we are witnessing the burgeoning of the myriad technical innovations to which that invention has led. The Handbook of Laser Technology and Applications is a practical and long-lasting reference source for scientists and engineers who work with lasers. The Handbook provides, a comprehensive guide to the current status of lasers and laser systems; it is accessible to science or engineering graduates needing no more than standard undergraduate knowledge of optics. Whilst being a self-contained reference work, the Handbook provides extensive references to contemporary work, and is a basis for studying the professional journal literature on the subject. It covers applications through detailed case studies, and is therefore well suited to readers who wish to use it to solve specific problems of their own. The first of the three volumes comprises an introduction to the basic scientific principles of lasers, laser beams and non-linear optics. The second volume describes the mechanisms and operating characteristics of specific types of laser including crystalline solid - state lasers, semiconductor diode lasers, fibre lasers, gas lasers, chemical lasers, dye lasers and many others as well as detailing the optical and electronic components which tailor the laser's performance and beam delivery systems. The third volume is devoted to case studies of applications in a wide range of subjects including materials processing, optical measurement techniques, medicine, telecommunications, data storage, spectroscopy, earth sciences and astronomy, and plasma fusion research. This vast compendium of knowledge on laser science and technology is the work of over 130 international experts, many of whom are recognised as the world leaders in their respective fields. Whether the reader is engaged in the science, technology, industrial or medical applications of lasers or is researching the subject as a manager or investor in technical enterprises they cannot fail to be informed and enlightened by the wide range of information the Handbook supplies.
