Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present three new methods for modeling broad-bandwidth, nanosecond optitcal parametric oscillators in the plane-wave approximation. Each accounts for the group-velocity differences that determine the operating linewidth of unseeded optical parametric oscillators, and each allows the signal and idler waves to develop from quantum noise. The first two methods are based on split-step integration methods in which nonlinear mixing and propagation are calculated separately on alternate steps. One method relies on Fourier transforming handle propagation, wiih mixing integrated over a the fields between t and u to Az step: the other transforms between z and k= in the propagation step, with mixing integrated over At. The third method is based on expansion of the three optical fields in terms of their respective longitudinal empty cavity modes, taking into account the cavity boundary condi- tions. Equations describing the time development of the mode amplitudes are solved to yield the time dependence of the three output fields. These plane-wave models exclude diffractive effects, but can be readily extended to include them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We show that the signal and idler beams generated by certain types of unseeded, nanosecond optical parametric oscillators are tilted and angularly dispersed and have anomalously large bandwidths. This effect is demonstrated in both laboratory measurements and a numerical model. We show how the optical cavity design influences the tilts and how they can be eliminated or minimized. We also determine the conditions necessary to injection seed these parametric oscillators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For certain applications, a spectrum comprised of several longitudinal modes from a laser or optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is desirable. For example, a broad spectrum can reduce speckle in remote sensing. One way to achieve this is to allow an OPO to operate on several modes that evolve from quantum noise. Unfortunately, in this case, the spectrum fluctuates from pulse to pulse and can be a noise source. An alternative is to seed the OPO on several longitudinal modes simultaneously so the spectrum is broad but does not fluctuate. This can be done by frequency modulating a cw seed laser so the sidebands and carrier all match longitudinal modes of the signal wave in the OPO. Such an FM OPO would also have applications in FM-modulation absorption measurements, including remote sensing.
