Continuous-wave singly resonant optical parametric oscillator based on periodically poled LiNbO(3)

We report a continuous-wave singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on periodically poled lithium niobate. The simple, two-mirror OPO, pumped by a 1.064-microm Nd:YAG laser, had a 2.6-4.5-W threshold and an output of >1.2 W at 3.3 microm and was tuned over 1.45-1.62 microm (sign...

Zusammenfassung:	We report a continuous-wave singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on periodically poled lithium niobate. The simple, two-mirror OPO, pumped by a 1.064-microm Nd:YAG laser, had a 2.6-4.5-W threshold and an output of >1.2 W at 3.3 microm and was tuned over 1.45-1.62 microm (signal) and 3.98-3.11 microm (idler). The noise characteristics and the spectral properties of the device are described.
