EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF A 1.3-2.0 μm OPTICAL PARAMETRIC OSCILLATOR(OPO)
This paper describes the tuning principle and the experimental technique of OPO.Temperature tuning curves of LiNbO
3
crystal OPO are calculated
and the experimental results of singly-resonant parametric LiNbO3 are shown.The tuning range of the signal wavelength was measured to be 1.3-2.0μm.The output energy at 1.9μm was 0.37mJ/pulse at 10pps.The device is a temperature tuned singly-resonant LiNbO3 OPO pumped by a Q-Switched 1.06μm Nd:YAG laser.The parametric oscillator cavity mirrors are designed for the transmittivity
T
≥90% at 1.06μm
and the reflectivity
R
≥97% at 1.3-2.0μm.The LiNbO3 crystal
with a length of and the phase matching angle 6 of 50°
was coated with an anti-reflective layer(
T
≥80% at 1.06-2.0μm).The crystal was mounted in the oven with the temperature controlling accuracy of ±0.05℃.The tuning range of the signal wavelength was measured to be 1.3-2.0μm and the corresponding temperature range of the LiNbO
