Problems solved by technology

The nonlinear crystals in the straight cavity and ring cavity are made into strips. If the waveguide structure is prepared in the crystal, it is a straight waveguide, but the crystal material with the waveguide structure can only use a limited straight waveguide area, and the utilization rate of the crystal is not high.
The ring cavity structure is more complex than the straight cavity structure, and the overall structure size is also larger
The microcavity structure is a circular or annular microdisk, and its size is usually small, at the micro-nano level; therefore, the threshold is low, but it cannot output large power

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of laser technology, in particular to a periodically polarized crystal waveguide device and a laser with a closed-loop waveguide structure. Background technique [0002] Three-wave mixing is a parametric process. In the parametric effect, according to the frequency relationship between the input light wave and the output light wave, it is divided into frequency up-conversion (sum frequency, frequency multiplication) and frequency down-conversion (difference frequency), parametric amplification (OPA) and parametric oscillation (OPO). Three-wave mixing is generally composed of pump lasers, nonlinear crystals, optical resonators and other devices. When free running, when the pump light intensity exceeds the threshold, the three-wave mixing process in the nonlinear crystal, under the frequency selection of the optical resonator, realizes the laser output, and increases linearly with the pump light intensity to a certain ...
