Frequency Locking in a Degenerate Polarization Mixing Optical Parametric Oscillator
نویسندگان
چکیده
A polarization mixing OPO was demonstrated, that emits a single, linearly polarized narrow linewidth beam, fixed at degeneracy, independent of crystal temperature. The frequency locking is explained in terms of balanced roundtrip phase-matching condition. ©2005 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (190.2620) Frequency conversion; (190.4410) Nonlinear optics, parametric processes; (190.4970) Parametric oscillators and amplifiers; (140.4780) Optical resonators

Polarization-mixing optical parametric oscillator.
We report the experimental realization of a new type of optical parametric oscillator in which oscillation is achieved by polarization rotation in a linear retarder, followed by nonlinear polarization mixing. The mixing is performed by a type II degenerate parametric downconversion in a periodically poled KTP crystal pumped by a 1064 nm pulsed Nd:YAG pump. A single, linearly polarized beam, pre...
متن کاملDual-pumped degenerate Kerr oscillator in a silicon nitride microresonator.
We demonstrate a degenerate parametric oscillator in a silicon nitride microresonator. We use two frequency-detuned pump waves to perform parametric four-wave mixing and operate in the normal group-velocity dispersion regime to produce signal and idler fields that are frequency degenerate. Our theoretical modeling shows that this regime enables generation of bimodal phase states, analogous to t...
متن کاملPhase-Sensitive Amplification in Optical Fibers
We describe the progress in fiber-based phase-sensitive parametric amplifiers in both frequency-degenerate and frequency-nondegenerate configurations. We discuss their applications for phase regeneration, as well as for lumped and distributed noiseless amplification. 2005 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.2320) Fiber optics amplifiers and oscillators; (190.4410) Nonlinear optics, par...
متن کاملStable nondegenerate optical parametric oscillation at degenerate frequencies in Na:KTP
We report the realization of a light source specifically designed for the generation of bright continuousvariable entangled beams and for Heisenberg-limited inteferometry. The source is a nondegenerate, singlemode, continuous-wave optical parametric oscillator in Na:KTP, operated at frequency degeneracy and just above threshold, which is also of interest for the study of critical fluctuations a...
متن کاملQuantum random number generator using a microresonator-based Kerr oscillator.
We demonstrate an all-optical quantum random number generator using a dual-pumped degenerate optical parametric oscillator in a silicon nitride microresonator. The frequency-degenerate bi-phase state output is realized using parametric four-wave mixing in the normal group-velocity dispersion regime with two nondegenerate pumps. We achieve a random number generation rate of 2 MHz and verify the ...
