This book was released on 1998 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work we experimentally investigate a singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO) with an intracavity crystal that mixes the signal and idler waves, enhancing the power conversion efficiency of the idler radiation. Optical parametric oscillators provide a method for producing coherent tunable radiation from a coherent fixed-frequency pump source. The pump frequency Wp 15 converted to the signal and idler frequencies Ws and Wi, respectively, in the OPO interaction, Wp = Ws + Wi, Ws> Wi. Since the signal and idler frequencies sum to the incident pump frequency, they are always lower than the pump frequency. Extra-cavity difference-frequency mixing (DFM) of the signal and idler from an OPO was demonstrated in some early experiments and recently a number of investigators have examined mixing the signal and idler waves generated from a synchronously pumped OPO to produce long-wavelength difference-frequency radiation. Here the difference-frequency Wd is produced in the DFM interaction, Wd = Ws - Wi. The DFM process not only produces long-wavelength radiation at the difference frequency, but for each difference-frequency photon produced, another idler photon is produced. Thus, this technique also increases the idler-frequency conversion efficiency. Production of the long-wavelength difference-frequency photons may not be possible in a single-step OPO process, due to transmission bands and phase-matching limitations of available crystals and available pump wavelengths.

Download or read book Continuous Wave 4 3 mu Intracavity Difference Frequency Generation in an Optical Parametric Oscillator written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have achieved 150 mW of cw output at 4.3 micrometers, using difference frequency mixing in a singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO). We pumped the OPO cavity, which contains periodically poled LiNbO3 (PPLN), with a 14-W 1.06-micrometers Nd:YAG laser to generate a signal at 1.7 micrometers and an idler at 2.8 micrometers. Mixing of the two waves at the same crystal temperature and grating spacing yielded emission in the mid IR. This technique avoids the mid-IR absorption-high-threshold problem, which has limited the cw performance of PPLN OPOs at wavelengths beyond 4 micrometers. Provided that tunability is not required, this method is a simple alternative to multiple-crystal configurations.

Download or read book Optical Parametric Oscillators for Intracavity Phase Interferometry written by Andreas Velten and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intracavity Phase Interferometry (IPI) makes use of the frequency comb of a mode-locked laser to perform precise phase measurements. IPI achieves extremely high measurement quality in a simple tabletop setup for a wide array of applications. This text summarizes work on intracavity interferometers and introduces two new IPI setups using optical parametric oscillators (OPO). It describes the design and numerical simulation of OPOs and their application as intracavity interferometers. In particular the option of an intracavity pumped OPO is investigated in theory and experiment. Finally some ground work towards future intracavity interferometers is included. This includes the potential use of semiconductor lasers to pump an OPO.

This book was released on 2007-11-15 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, published in 2007, provides comprehensive coverage of the theory and practice of OPAs and related devices, including fiber optical parametric oscillators (OPOs). After introducing the field, the theory and techniques behind all types of fiber OPAs are covered starting from first principles - topics include the scalar and vector OPA theory; the nonlinear Schrodinger equation; OPO theory; and quantum noise figure of fiber OPAs. Challenges of making fiber OPAs practical for a number of applications are discussed, and a survey of the state-of-the-art in feasibility demonstrations and performance evaluations is provided. The capabilities and limitations of OPAs; the potential applications for OPAs and OPOs, and prospects for future developments in the field are discussed. Theoretical tools developed in this text can also be applied to other areas of nonlinear optics. This is a valuable resource for researchers, advanced practitioners, and graduate students in optoelectronics.
