Nanosecond terahertz optical parametric oscillator with a novel quasi phase matching scheme in lithium niobate.
We present an optical parametric oscillator pumped by a single mode Q-switched nanosecond Nd:YVO(4) laser for terahertz generation in periodically poled lithium niobate with a new phase matching scheme. This new method leads to an emission of terahertz radiation close to the Cherenkov angle and to a parallel propagation of the pump and signal wave. The emission frequency of this novel source is...
متن کاملDesign constraints of optical parametric chirped pulse amplification based on chirped quasi-phase-matching gratings.
Chirped quasi-phase-matching (QPM) gratings offer efficient, ultra-broadband optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) in the mid-infrared as well as other spectral regions. Only recently, however, has this potential begun to be realized [1]. In this paper, we study the design of chirped QPM-based OPCPA in detail, revealing several important constraints which must be accounted for ...
متن کاملMulticolor stimulated Raman scattering microscopy with a rapidly tunable optical parametric oscillator.
Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy allows label-free chemical imaging based on vibrational spectroscopy. Narrowband excitation with picosecond lasers creates the highest signal levels and enables imaging speeds up to video-rate, but it sacrifices chemical specificity in samples with overlapping bands compared to broadband (multiplex) excitation. We develop a rapidly tunable picosecond...
متن کاملRole of apodization in optical parametric amplifiers based on aperiodic quasi-phasematching gratings.
We experimentally demonstrate and analyze two different techniques for apodizing the nonlinear coupling in aperiodically poled MgO:LiNbO(3) (APPLN) used in an ultrabroadband optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier (OPCPA). With an adiabatic increase of the nonlinear coupling, a smooth gain spectrum and spectral phase is preserved during amplification in such media. The two approaches we expl...
متن کاملTunable Middle Ir Optical Parametric Oscillator for Spectroscopic Applications
The operation of a middle infrared laser source based on the tandem optical parametric oscillator (OPO) was demonstrated. The first stage was based on the nonlinear KTP crystal and produced up to 45 mJ of 1.57 μm radiation, while pumped by a commercial Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The quality of signal beam was improved by using the unstable resonator. The AgGaSe2 crystal was used in the second sta...
