pulse-injection-seeded nanosecond optical parametric oscillator
We measured 90% pump depletion in a singly resonant image-rotating nanosecond optical parametric oscillator that was pulse-injection seeded by a self-generated signal pulse. The oscillator was pumped by an 8 ns duration single-frequency 532 nm pulse from an injection-seeded Q-switched Nd:YAG laser and resonated an 803 nm signal. The pump and pulsed-seed beams had flat-topped spatial fluence pro...
متن کاملCascaded Nonlinear Optical Mixing in a Noncollinear Optical Parametric Amplifier
Ultrafast optical science is a rapidly evolving multidisciplinary field: the ability to excite matter with femtosecond light pulses and probe its subsequent evolution on ultrashort time scales opens up completely new fields of research in physics, chemistry, and biology.[1] Furthermore, the high intensities that can be generated using femtosecond light pulses allow us to explore new regimes of ...
متن کاملEfficiency-enhanced soliton optical parametric amplifier
We show that the pump–to–signal power conversion efficiency of parametric chirped-pulse amplifiers made with periodically poled materials operating with multicolor spatial solitons can be significantly enhanced by employing engineered quasi-phase-matching gratings. Applications include compact sources of high-energy ultrashort pulses in diffraction-limited high-quality beams. © 2002 Optical Soc...
متن کاملHigh-energy, near- and mid-IR picosecond pulses generated by a fiber-MOPA-pumped optical parametric generator and amplifier.
We report a high-energy picosecond optical parametric generator/amplifier (OPG/A) based on a MgO:PPLN crystal pumped by a fiber master-oscillator-power-amplifier (MOPA) employing direct amplification. An OPG tuning range of 1450-3615 nm is demonstrated with pulse energies as high as 2.6 μJ (signal) and 1.2 μJ (idler). When seeded with a ~100 MHz linewidth diode laser, damage-limited pulse energ...
متن کاملAll-Optical Switching of Picosecond Pulses by Four-Wave Mixing in a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier
High-speed all-optical switching is demonstrated by four-wave mixing (FWM) of picosecond pulses using semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA). A light source for measurement and switching in the 1.5 μm region is produced using a normal group velocity dispersion fiber and optical parametric oscillator. The output supercontinuum (SC) optical pulses, with a spectral width of approximately 300 nm, a...
