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.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, we have demonstrated various ultrafast optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) based on different nonlinear media. The thesis consists of OPO systems, novel techniques, designs, and concepts that has facilitated the wavelength accessibility from 1 μm in the near-infrared region to as far as 8 μm in the mid-infrared region. We developed a fs OPO based on BiB3O6 (BIBO) directly pumped the Kerr-lens mode-locked (KLM) Ti:sapphire laser. This system could provide broad and rapid tuning from 1420-1560 nm just by changing the cavity length. Also, by exploiting the unique optical properties of BIBO under type I (e¿oo) interaction, we have demonstrated the first self-phase-locked degenerate fs OPO. Further, we have developed a technique called synchronous retro-reflection for threshold reduction and signal amplification before the onset of the oscillation. This technique is generic and is particularly useful while deploying ultrafast OPOs with birefringent materials that have relatively low nonlinear gain and when we have limited pump power. In addition, we have developed a dual-wavelength fs OPO with arbitrary and independent tuning by making use of anti-resonant-ring (ARR) or Sagnac interferometer. This universal technique of coupling two optical oscillators can be employed in any time regime (cw to ultrafast pico or fs) irrespective of the operating wavelengths. This conceptual technique can be used for intracavity terahertz (THz) generation which exploits the high intensity intracavity oscillating pulses. Also, we have developed a dual-crystal, double-pumped OPOs for intracavity signal amplification in fs regime as well as in ps regime, for arbitrary and independent wavelength tuning. In both systems two crystals share the same optical cavity but are pumped independently by a single laser source. Finally, we have devised and experimentally demonstrated a novel concept of pumping an OPO within another OPO using a composite cascaded cavity design. This all solid-state Ti:sapphire-pumped fs OPO system is potentially capable of providing access to mid-infrared region beyond 4 μm to as far as 18 μm by careful selection of the nonlinear medium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advancement in the growth and fabrication of nonlinear materials along with continual improvements in the performance of solid-state lasers have led to a resurgence of interest in the development of optical parametric oscillators (OPOs). While many experimental results have been recently reported, very little attention has been given to the development of detailed models to simulate the output characteristics (such as beam quality, efficiency, and threshold) of nanosecond-pumped OPOs. Such models are necessary for understanding experiments and for developing advanced OPO designs that enhance the overall performance of these devices. In this work, we describe a time-dependent model of pulsed OPOs that includes diffraction, depletion, and double refraction (walkoff) in the parametric amplification process. The model is used to predict output beam profiles, beam quality, and conversion efficiency of an injection-seeded KTP ring OPO. Predicted output beam profiles in the near and intermediate fields are in qualitative agreement with the experimental results reports in a companion paper. Our results show that diffraction and double refraction must be included in models of pulsed OPOs to predict realistic beam profiles.

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.
