By exploiting nonlinear optical effects, a technology of unprecedented flexibility for the production of tunable coherent light has been developed. Referred to as optical parametric generation, it provides sources with spectral coverage extending all the way from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared, and with temporal coverage extending over all time domains from the femtosecond pulse to the continuous wave. Such sources generate coherent light of outstanding optical quality and are now finding wide-ranging applications.

“…Nowadays majority of SPOPOs use the fundamental or second harmonic of Ti:sapphire lasers as pump sources [6][7][8][9][10][11]13,[16][17][18]. In this study we show the feasibility of femtosecond Yb:KGW lasers as efficient pump sources for SPOPOs.…”

“…The simultaneous phase matching of two different second-order nonlinear processes within the same crystal opens many frequency-conversion possibilities. 14 Recent reports of second-harmonic generation [15][16][17][18] and SFG 11,16,19 within an OPO and within a cascaded OPO, 20 parametric amplification with SFG, 21 and third-harmonic generation 22 are some examples. Quasi-phase-matching techniques will no doubt play a central role in realizing simultaneous phase matching.…”

Cataloged from PDF version of article.We report a synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator that generates the sum frequency of the pump and the signal wavelengths. A single KTiOPO4 (KTP) crystal is used for both parametric generation and sum-frequency generation in which these two processes are simultaneously phase matched for the same direction of propagation. The parametric oscillator, pumped by a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser at a wavelength of 827 nm, generates a blue output beam at 487 nm with 43% power-conversion efficiency. The polarization geometry of simultaneous phase matching requires rotation of the pump polarization before the cavity. Adjusting the group delay between the two orthogonally polarized pump components to compensate for the group-velocity mismatch in the KTP crystal increases the photon-conversion efficiency more than threefold. Angle tuning in conjunction with pump wavelength tuning provides output: tunability in the 484-512-nm range. A planewave model that takes group-velocity mismatch into account is in good agreement with our experimental results. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America [S0740-3224(99)01309-0]
