摘要
We present a temperature-dependent Sellmeier equation for congruent and stoichiometric LiTaO3. The refractive indices in the range of 0.39-4.1 mum were determined by scanning the pump lasers wavelength and finding the QPM second harmonic wavelength for a series of period-temperature pairs, and from QPM OPO measurements. The obtained new Sellmeier coefficients were used to calculate the QPM wavelengths of the idler and signal for a PPSLT OPO pumped at 1064 nm. An OPO based on PPSLT was demonstrated. The idler-tuning range was 4.1828-3.9898 mum for temperatures of 40-200degreesC. The measured wavelengths were in good agreement with our predictions.
