Examining classic theories, experimental methods, and practical formulas for exploration of
the core topics in nonlinear optics, the second edition of this acclaimed text was extensively …

We describe a simple, narrow-linewidth, tunable fiber-based laser with a high degree of
tuning accuracy. A polarization independent semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is used …

A 5 mm thick and 38 mm long 5% MgO-doped periodically poled lithium niobate (MgO:
PPLN) cylinder with a grating period of 28 μm has been engineered as a partial cylinder with …

We report development of a frequency-stabilized mid-infrared continuous-wave (cw) optical
parametric oscillator (OPO) based on a fan-out grating MgO: PPLN crystal pumped at 1064 …

Conversion efficiency and phase-matching (PM) bandwidth are both critical issues for
broadband parametric processes. In some sense, they determine the highest peak power …

The first nonlinear optical phenomenon was observed by Franken et al.(1961): ultraviolet
radiation at 0.3471 μm was detected at the exit of a quartz crystal illuminated with a ruby …

We propose a generalization of quasi-phase-matching of quadratic nonlinear processes that
we call angular quasi-phase-matching (AQPM). It corresponds to a propagation of three …

We report the implementation of a singly resonant optical parametric oscillator using a 5%
MgO: PPLN partial cylinder pumped by a sub-nanosecond microchip laser emitting 1064 …

The current status of optical parametric oscillator (OPO) device technology and applications
in the mid-infrared are reviewed. The discussion provides an overview of the latest …

An optical parametric generator with a cylindrical periodically poled LiNbO 3 crystal and a
Nd: YAG commercial microchip pump laser yields continuous tuning of the emitted …
