Optical parametric oscillation in periodically poled lithium niobate driven by a diode-pumped Q-switched erbium fiber laser
We describe the first nanosecond PPLN OPO driven by a fibre laser. The source was frequency doubled by a PPLN sample, before pumping a second 20mm long PPLN crystal. The OPO threshold was <10µJ, with pump depletions of up to 45% and a tunable signal range of 945-1450nm, (1690-4450nm idler range)....
