| Abstract: | In this paper we report on a continuous-wave (CW) intracavity singly
resonant optical parametric oscillator (ICSRO) based on periodically
poled LiNbO3 (PPLN) pumped by a diode-end-pumped CW
Nd:YVO4 laser. Considering the thermal lens effects and
diffraction loss, an optical ballast lens and a near-concentric
cavity are adopted for better operation. Through varying the grating
period and the temperature, the tunable signal output from 1406~nm
to 1513~nm is obtained. At a PPLN grating period of 29~μ m and a
temperature of 413~K, a maximum signal output power of 820~mW at
1500~nm is achieved when the 808~nm pump power is 10.9~W, leading to
an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 7.51%. |
