Passively Q-switched photonic crystal fiber laser and intracavity optical parametric oscillator.
We report on a passively Q-switched photonic crystal fiber (PCF) laser with Cr(4+):YAG as a saturable absorber. Under a pump power of 14.2 W, the maximum pulse energy is up to 630 microJ with a pulse width of 36 ns at a repetition rate of 5.6 kHz. With an intracavity optical parametric oscillator, the passively Q-switched PCF laser is used to generate the signal wave at 1515 nm. The output puls...
متن کاملSynchronously pumped photonic crystal fiber-based optical parametric oscillator.
We report the development of a compact, tunable synchronously pumped photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based optical parametric oscillator (FOPO). The oscillator is pumped using a gain-switched laser diode producing 220 ps pulses around 1062 nm, amplified in a ytterbium doped amplifier to peak powers of 3.5 kW. The FOPO produces anti-Stokes pulses at wavelengths between 757 and 773 nm, with duration...
متن کاملSubnanosecond mJ eye-safe laser with an intracavity optical parametric oscillator in a shared resonator.
We theoretically verify that the threshold of an intracavity optical parametric oscillator pumped by a passively Q-switched laser is entirely controlled by the bleach of the saturable absorber not by the signal output reflectivity. We use a series of different output couplers to optimize the output performance. With a signal output reflectivity of 15%, we experimentally achieve an efficient sub...
متن کاملContinuous-wave 4.3-mum intracavity difference frequency generation in an optical parametric oscillator.
We have achieved 150 mW of cw output at 4.3mum, using difference frequency mixing in a singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO). We pumped the OPO cavity, which contains periodically poled LiNbO(3) (PPLN), with a 14-W 1.06-mum Nd:YAG laser to generate a signal at 1.7 mum and an idler at 2.8 mum. Mixing of the two waves at the same crystal temperature and grating spacing yielded emiss...
متن کاملIntracavity wavelength modulation of an optical parametric oscillator for coherent Raman microscopy.
We present a novel intracavity frequency modulation scheme in a tunable, picosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The OPO signal wavelength can be modulated with a depth of more than 10 nm at a rate of 38 MHz (one half its repetition rate). We discuss the design and construction of the light source and its application to the recently-developed frequency modulation coherent anti-Stokes Ra...
