Fundamentals of Optical Parametric Processes and Oscillations
Author: Alice M. Tang
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 100011130X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
This study looks at the basic principles of optical parametric processes and recent results on the rapidly developing optical parametric device technology. The theoretical basis of stimulated and spontaneous optical parametric processes and detailed design considerations of optical parametric oscillators and amplifiers are discussed, followed by a review of the materials properties of the most important nonlinear optical crystals for such applications. It concludes with a review of the recent developments on practical low-repetition rate nanosecond optical parametric oscillators and broadly tunable high-repetition rate continuous-pulse-train femtosecond optical parametric oscillations from the uv to the mid ir.

Ultrafast Optical Parametric Oscillators : Novel Systems, Techniques, and Concepts

Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
In this thesis, we have demonstrated various ultrafast optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) based on different nonlinear media. The thesis consists of OPO systems, novel techniques, designs, and concepts that has facilitated the wavelength accessibility from 1 μm in the near-infrared region to as far as 8 μm in the mid-infrared region. We developed a fs OPO based on BiB3O6 (BIBO) directly pumped the Kerr-lens mode-locked (KLM) Ti:sapphire laser. This system could provide broad and rapid tuning from 1420-1560 nm just by changing the cavity length. Also, by exploiting the unique optical properties of BIBO under type I (e¿oo) interaction, we have demonstrated the first self-phase-locked degenerate fs OPO. Further, we have developed a technique called synchronous retro-reflection for threshold reduction and signal amplification before the onset of the oscillation. This technique is generic and is particularly useful while deploying ultrafast OPOs with birefringent materials that have relatively low nonlinear gain and when we have limited pump power. In addition, we have developed a dual-wavelength fs OPO with arbitrary and independent tuning by making use of anti-resonant-ring (ARR) or Sagnac interferometer. This universal technique of coupling two optical oscillators can be employed in any time regime (cw to ultrafast pico or fs) irrespective of the operating wavelengths. This conceptual technique can be used for intracavity terahertz (THz) generation which exploits the high intensity intracavity oscillating pulses. Also, we have developed a dual-crystal, double-pumped OPOs for intracavity signal amplification in fs regime as well as in ps regime, for arbitrary and independent wavelength tuning. In both systems two crystals share the same optical cavity but are pumped independently by a single laser source. Finally, we have devised and experimentally demonstrated a novel concept of pumping an OPO within another OPO using a composite cascaded cavity design. This all solid-state Ti:sapphire-pumped fs OPO system is potentially capable of providing access to mid-infrared region beyond 4 μm to as far as 18 μm by careful selection of the nonlinear medium.
