Abstract

Design innovations of a high-performance modular optical parametric oscillator (OPO) system that generated continuously tunable, single-longitudnal-mode coherent output radiation for high-resolution, time-resolved spectroscopy were described. OPO consisted of an actively controlled ring cavity, with a quasi-phase-matched (QPM) nonlinear-optical medium injection seeded at its signal wavelength by a continuous wave tunable diode laser. Design improvements included an active cavity control scheme and an injection-seeded OPO design, in which feedback from an external high-finesse optical cavity was used to lock the QPM OPO cavity.
