Title

Analyses Of Bbo And Ktp Crystals For Optical Parametric Oscillation.

Abstract

The use of KTiOPO4 (KTP) is proposed for tunable laser sources, where the optical parametric oscillation processes, pumped by a doubled YAG (532 nm), generate output wavelength ranges of 0.7-1.9 μm. For comparison, the OPO tuning ranges of beta-barium-borate (BBO), which has a lower efficiency but wider ranges (0.6-3.0 μm), are presented. Two possible polarization configurations, II-A and II-B, have been defined for a BBO type II crystal, where II-A has a larger deff than that of II-B. For KTP crystal, the calculations show that II-B is more efficient than II-A. It is noted that noncritical phase-matching angles of KTP can be achieved in some diode-pumped systems that show extremely wide acceptance widths of angle, spectrum, and temperature.
