Three-wavelength generation from cascaded wavelength conversion in monolithic periodically poled lithium niobate

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/24/1/014209

Abstract

Tunable coherent emission is generated in a single-pass, cascaded wavelength conversion process from mode-locked laser-pumped monolithic periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN). Three ranges of wavelength, including visible output from 628 nm to 639 nm, near-infrared output from 797 nm to 816 nm, and mid-infrared output from 3167 nm to 3459 nm, were obtained from the monolithic PPLN, which consists of a 10-mm section for 532-nm-pumped optical parametric generation (OPG) and a 7-mm section for 1064-nm-pumped sum frequency generation (SFG). A pump-to-signal conversion efficiency of 23.4% for OPG at 50 ℃ and a quantum efficiency of 26.2% for SFG at 200 ℃ were obtained.
