Low-threshold, mid-infrared backward-wave parametric oscillator with periodically poled Rb:KTP

We report on the development of a nanosecond mirrorless optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped at 1 μm. The gain medium of the OPO was periodically poled Rubidium-doped KTP with a grating period of Λ = 509 nm for the first order quasi-phase matching. For grating periods of this length, we demons...
