Performance of the Optical Parametric Generation in Nonlinear KTP Crystal at Nd:YAG Laser Pumping
نویسنده
چکیده
The tuning curves, angular and spectral phase-matching widths are calculated for all possible kinds of OPG in the principal planes of biaxial KTP crystal with Nd:YAG laser pumping at 1.064 μ wavelength. The plots presented enable the maximal nonmonochromaticity and radiation divergence to be found for any value of the signal wave and different interaction types. A particular emphasis has been placed on the OPG investigation under the noncritical phase-matching conditions of the type II along x and y crystallographic axes. The effective nonlinear coefficients as a function of phase-matching angles are calculated in the KTP principal planes.

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...

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...
