چکیده
Simultaneous optical parametric oscillation and intracavity second-harmonic generation based on a hexagonally poled lithium tantalate is reported. Both the optical parametric oscillation and the cascaded noncollinear second-order harmonic generation processes reach a high efficiency. A variety of possible self-doubling optical parametric oscillation processes indicate this hexagonally poled lithium tantalate has potential applications as a compact multi-wavelength light source.

Broadly tunable ultraviolet light generation in a compact MgO-doped periodically-poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate optical parametric oscillator with a high-Q cavity.
A compact tunable UV laser source based on intracavity sum frequency generation in a MgO-doped periodically-poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate optical parametric oscillator is reported. UV output at an approximately 1 mW level of power over the range of 364 to 378 nm with a bandwidth of 0.5 nm was obtained with a crystal that has just one periodically-poled grating period. The full tuning r...

Periodically poled stoichiometric lithium-tantalate is used for mode locking of a diode-pumped Nd:GdVO(4) laser by intracavity second-harmonic generation. Stable and self-starting operation is observed achieving average output powers of up to 5 W at a pulse-repetition rate of 107 MHz. The obtained pulse durations range from 6.5 ps at maximum output power down to 3.2 ps at 1.4 W.
متن کاملObservation of a cascaded process in intracavity terahertz optical parametric oscillators based on lithium niobate.
Cascaded difference frequency generation has been observed in intracavity optical parametric oscillators based on bulk lithium niobate and producing nanosecond pulses of terahertz radiation. Two idler waves are generated, namely: the primary idler wave associated with the parametric down conversion process itself; and a secondary idler wave, due to difference frequency generation. Experimental ...
متن کاملTunable ultraviolet radiation by second-harmonic generation in periodically poled lithium tantalate.
We describe electric-field poling of fine-pitch ferroelectric domain gratings in lithium tantalate and characterization of nonlinear-optical properties by single-pass quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation (QPM SHG). With a 7.5-microm-period grating, the observed effective nonlinear coefficient for first-order QPM SHG of 532-nm radiation is 9 pm/V, whereas for a grating with a 2.625-mic...

We suggest a novel scheme for multistep cascaded parametric processes based on a periodically poled nonlinear directional coupler and derive the conditions for simultaneous phase matching of the second-harmonic generation and sum-frequency mixing processes. We predict an efficient wavelength conversion by the cascaded third-harmonic generation from the third optical communication window (1.53-1...
