0 Theory of self phase - locked optical parametric oscillators
The plane-wave dynamics of 3ω → 2ω, ω subharmonic optical parametric oscillators containing a second harmonic generator of the idler-wave ω is analyzed analytically by using the meanfield approximation and numerically by taking into account the field propagation inside the media. The resonant χ(−3ω; 2ω, ω) : χ(−2ω;ω,ω) cascaded second-order nonlinearities induce a mutual injection-locking of th...
متن کاملPhase-locked spatial domains and Bloch domain walls in type-II optical parametric oscillators.
We study the role of transverse spatial degrees of freedom in the dynamics of signal-idler phase locked states in type-II optical parametric oscillators. Phase locking stems from signal-idler polarization coupling which arises if the cavity birefringence and/or dichroism is not matched to the nonlinear crystal birefringence. Spontaneous Bloch domain wall formation is observed numerically and th...
متن کاملTheory of backward distributed-feedback optical parametric amplifiers and oscillators
We derive a coupled-wave theory for backward phase-matched optical parametric amplifiers and oscillators in a dielectric modulated nonlinear optical material. Unlike a forward phase-matched distributed-feedback optical parametric oscillator, a backward oscillator of this type can have high-threshold gap modes at Bragg resonance and low-threshold detuned modes. In addition to the structure feedb...
متن کاملA phase-locked frequency divide-by-3 optical parametric oscillator
Accurate phase-locked 3:1 division of an optical frequency was achieved, by using a continuous-wave (cw) doubly resonant optical parametric oscillator. A fractional frequency stability of 2×10-17 of the division process has been achieved for 100 s integration time. The technique developed in this work can be generalized to the accurate phase and frequency control of any cw optical parametric os...
متن کاملSelf-phase-locked divide-by-2 optical parametric oscillator as a broadband frequency comb source
We investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, spectral, temporal, and coherence properties of a degenerate synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator (SPOPO) as a divide-by-2 subharmonic generator. Periodically poled lithium niobate was used as the nonlinear gain medium and 180 fs pulses from a modelocked Ti:Sapphire laser as the pump. A regime of stable SPOPO operation at dege...
