Electric Field Tuned Optical Parametric Oscillator Based on mgo:ppln Domain Duty Cycle

Abstract

An MgO:PPLN-based electric field tuning light parameter oscillator with a controllable crystal domain duty ratio belongs to the field of solid laser. The electric field tuning light parameter oscillator settles the following problems in an existing optical parameter oscillator: limitation by a single crystal domain duty ratio and incapability of being switched between high-precision wide tuning and high frequency conversion efficiency. According to the MgO:PPLN-based electric field tuning light parameter oscillator, an isolator performs return light isolation of pump light which is generated by a laser pump source; two flat concave lenses form a confocal optical parameter oscillation chamber; after pump light is focused by a focusing coupling system, the pump is arranged at an MgO:PPLN crystal at the common focus in the chamber; The crystal has a polarized period positive and negative crystal domain diagonal segmented structure. A driving power supply exerts a voltage on the crystal. An electric controlled precise translation platform is made to move through a computer. The crystal domain duty ratio is changed through transversely moving a light inputting position where the crystal is located. According to the MgO:PPLN-based electric field tuning light parameter oscillator, the MgO:PPLN crystal with controllable crystal domain duty ratio is used as a frequency conversion medium; and free switching between high-precision wide tuning and high frequency conversion efficiency is realized according to an actual requirement.
