چکیده
We report what is to our knowledge the first demonstration of a continuous-wave singly resonant optical parametric oscillator based on potassium titanyl phosphate. The pump source used is a single-frequency resonantly doubled Nd:YAG laser. By double passing the pump through the crystal, we achieved a minimum oscillation threshold of 1.4 W. With 3.2 W of incident pump power, a maximum 1.07 W of nonresonant idler power was generated. Spectral measurement reveals that the singly resonant optical parametric oscillator operates consistently in a single axial mode with much relaxed axial mode hop tolerance to cavity length and pump-frequency fluctuations compared with doubly resonant optical parametric oscillators previously demonstrated.

We report a continuous-wave singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on periodically poled lithium niobate. The simple, two-mirror OPO, pumped by a 1.064-microm Nd:YAG laser, had a 2.6-4.5-W threshold and an output of >1.2 W at 3.3 microm and was tuned over 1.45-1.62 microm (signal) and 3.98-3.11 microm (idler). The noise characteristics and the spectral properties of the devic...

We report a continuous-wave (cw) 532-nm-pumped singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO) based on periodically poled lithium niobate. The pump source is a commercial 5-W cw diode-pumped, multilongitudinal-mode, intracavity-doubled Nd:YVO(4) laser. Using a four-mirror ring SRO cavity and single-pass pumping, we achieved subwatt internal oscillation threshold, 56% quantum efficiency, an...

A watt-level, single-frequency, continuous-wave (cw) singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on MgO:sPPLT is described. Pumped in the green by a frequency-doubled cw diode-pumped Nd:YVO(4) laser at 532 nm, the OPO can provide up to 1.59 W of single-frequency idler output with a linewidth of ~7 MHz at pump depletions of as much as 67%.

We report on a continuous-wave singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO) based on periodically poled KTiOPO4. This is pumped by a frequency-doubled single-frequency Nd:YAG master oscillator power ampli®er system. Pump wave enhancement allowed for external oscillation thresholds around 200 mW. Up to 72 mW of idler and 28 mW of signal radiation were generated at 1.2 W pump power. Output...
