Transform-limited, narrow-linewidth, terahertz-wave parametric generator
An injection-seeded nanosecond terahertz ~THz! wave parametric generator was demonstrated using nonlinear crystals that were pumped by a single frequency Nd:yttrium–aluminum–garnet laser. Spectrum narrowing to the Fourier transform limit ~n51.58 THz, Dn,200 MHz! was achieved by injection seeding the idler wave ~near-infrared Stokes!. This resulted in a THz-wave output power ~900 pJ/pulse, .100 ...
متن کاملpulse-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 کاملNarrow-linewidth middle-infrared ZnGeP2 optical parametric oscillator
We report a narrow-linewidth ZnGeP2 (ZGP) optical parametric oscillator (OPO). It employs a Q-switched Nd:YAG-laser-pumped LiNbO3 OPO with an output at l 5 2.55 mm that is used as a pump for the ZGP OPO. With the singly resonant type II ZGP OPO cavity containing a diffraction grating and a Si etalon, we achieved mid-IR tunability from 3.7 to 8 mm with an output linewidth of ;0.1 cm21, correspon...
متن کاملMonolithically Integrated High-Q Rings for Narrow Linewidth Widely Tunable Lasers
We theoretically analyze the use of fully integrated highQ ring cavities (intrinsic Q ∼ 1 million) with widely tunable semiconductor lasers to realize narrow linewidth lasers. Different configurations are studied, including cases where the highQ cavity is external to the laser cavity and provides filtered optical feedback to the laser cavity and cases where the highQ cavity is an integral part ...
متن کاملUnidirectional, widely-tunable and narrow-linewidth heterogeneously integrated III-V-on-silicon laser.
A heterogeneously integrated widely tunable III-V-on-silicon ring laser with unidirectional operation is demonstrated. 40 nm tuning range (from 1560 nm to 1600 nm) is obtained using the Vernier effect between two ring resonators incorporated in the ring laser cavity. Unidirectional operation is obtained by integrating a DBR reflector coupling the clockwise and counterclockwise mode of the ring ...
