摘要
We present the characteristics of an optical parametric oscillator based on a KTP crystal, pumped with noncritical phase matching by a pulsed Ti 3+:Al 2O 3 laser, tunable in the range 677-970 nm. Tunable generation of signal and idler waves is obtained in the ranges 1030-1390 nm and 2690-3050 nm respectively. The efficiency of conversion of the pump to the signal wave is ≈23%, which for pulses of duration ≈8 nsec ensures an energy in the range 1.0-11.5 mJ. The width of the emission spectrum for the signal wave is within the range 0.8-1.8 nm and is predominantly determined by the linewidth of the Ti 3+:Al 2O 3 pump laser. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
