This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study looks at the basic principles of optical parametric processes and recent results on the rapidly developing optical parametric device technology. The theoretical basis of stimulated and spontaneous optical parametric processes and detailed design considerations of optical parametric oscillators and amplifiers are discussed, followed by a review of the materials properties of the most important nonlinear optical crystals for such applications. It concludes with a review of the recent developments on practical low-repetition rate nanosecond optical parametric oscillators and broadly tunable high-repetition rate continuous-pulse-train femtosecond optical parametric oscillations from the uv to the mid ir.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report summarizes the results obtained during a two year optical parametric oscillator program. The goal of this work is to perform studies which will lead to more efficient, stable operation of optical parametric oscillators. Three subjects have been studied on this program. First, an internal optical parametric oscillator of special design was proposed, built, and operated. This marks only the second time that an internal oscillator has been successfully operated. Stable efficient parametric oscillation was obtained with average 2.1 micron output powers as high as 350 mW. This oscillator output power is an order of magnitude greater than any previously reported. The second and third subjects investigated on this program concern the simultaneous occurrence of nonlinear optical processes. Experimental and theoretical studies were carried out on the simultaneous occurrence of parametric oscillation and second harmonic generation in a single nonlinear crystal. In addition, investigations were begun on the simultaneous occurrence of oscillation and sum-frequency generation. Both of these simultaneous processes are of interest for two reasons: (1) they provide a technique for generating a new output near the pump frequency of an optical parametric oscillator; and (2) in normal oscillator operation, they are undesirable and should be avoided since they act as a loss mechanism for the signal or idler.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have pursued a vigorous program of experimental and theoretical research on a novel method of frequency division based on an optical parametric oscillator (OPO). We have successfully demonstrated optical frequency division in a nearly degenerate KTP OPO that is highly efficient and tunable. The difference frequency of the two subharmonic outputs of the OPO was phase locked to a 12-GHz microwave source with a residual phase noise spectral density of 0.3 mrad/VH-z. More recently the use of a THz optical frequency comb permitted the OPO to be phase locked at a difference frequency of 665 GHz. We have studied a number of potential applications including optical frequency counting for frequency standards and multi-THz optical frequency comb generation for optical communications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume considers optical parametric generation and amplification (OPG/OPA), as a means for producing a tunable optical parametric device. It reviews the OPA/OPG systems using various crystals pumped by lasers at various frequencies with pulse duration ranging from picoseconds to femtoseconds. Part two covers the theoretical background for design of an OPA/OPG system, using two newly discovered nonlinear crystals. Experimental design considerations are discussed in section three, including the section of nonlinear crystals, pumping sources and optical configurations. In section four, the experimental results obtained are compared with the theoretical calculations.

This book was released on 2012-02-13 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The infrared spectral region between wavelengths of 2 and 6 µm is of great importance in molecular physics. Molecules with an X-H bond (X being carbon, nitrogen or oxygen) exhibit strong vibrational transitions there, but also linear carbon clusters Cn (n=2,3,...). Many combination bands and overtones of low-energy vibrational modes also occur in this spectral range. Analyses of these spectral features allow - if highly resolved - for example the prediction of pure rotational transitions in the sub-mm wavelength regime, or help understanding the internal dynamics of the molecule. To provide radiation sources with extremely large frequency coverage, two optical parametric oscillator (OPO) systems in the wavelength regions from 2.5 to 4.1 µm and from 4.7 to 5.4 µm have been set up and characterized in this thesis. The OPO system around 5 µm wavelength is the only one in this spectral region used in high-resolution spectroscopy up to now. Both of the OPO systems have been shown to be ideal tools for spectroscopic studies delivering highly accurate transition frequencies of transient molecules, using the following example cases: The rovibrational spectrum of the fundamental cation CH2D+ around 3.2 µm wavelength has been measured with unprecedented spectral resolution and frequency accuracy. The combination of the OPO as radiation source with a cold ion trap to produce and store the ions has been proven to have a high predictive power for pure rotational transition frequencies of CH2D+. Located at around 100 to 200 GHz, these are of great importance in astrophysics. The V3 fundamental vibration of Si2C3 around 5.1 µm wavelength has been measured using the OPO and a newly built jet spectrometer for the production of transient molecules. Molecular parameters have been determined with high precision. An associated hot band originating from the V7 vibrational bending mode has been resolved and analyzed for the first time. The pure carbon clusters C3 and C7 have also been examined. For the first time, a combination band of C3 and an associated hot band were detected around 3.0 µm wavelength in the gas phase. Their analyses yield valuable information about the potential energy surface of C3. Analysis of the V5 mode of C7 delivered further proof of its rigidity, which was put into question by earlier works. Last but not least, a previously unknown associated hot band of C7 has been detected and analyzed.
