Technical Field

Background
An Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) is an important way to realize nonlinear frequency conversion, and its output wavelength is continuously tunable and can cover the band that the laser cannot directly generate. A high-frequency light wave with high light intensity and a low-frequency light wave with low light intensity are incident into the same nonlinear crystal, if the crystal meets a specific phase matching condition, a new difference frequency light wave can be finally obtained according to a three-wave interaction principle, and meanwhile, the incident low-frequency weak signal is amplified, and the process is called a parametric amplification process. If the nonlinear crystal is put into an optical resonant cavity and is still irradiated by high-intensity high-frequency optical waves (called pump light), when the gain of the optical waves is larger than the loss of the resonant cavity, oscillating signal optical waves and difference frequency optical waves can be established from the noise in the cavity, and the optical parametric oscillator is formed. The incident high-frequency and low-frequency optical waves are referred to as pump light and signal light, respectively, and the generated difference-frequency optical wave is referred to as idler light.
Tunable lasers are often required in a variety of research fields, including spectral analysis, and optical parametric oscillators in combination with frequency doubling techniques can achieve tunable laser output from the ultraviolet to the infrared bands. A near-infrared parametric oscillator with an output wavelength of about 1 micrometer (μm) and a frequency doubling technology are one of the technical means for obtaining tunable laser in a visible light band.
