Abstract

The performance of a periodically poled lithium niobate optical parametric oscillator/lithium niobate optical parametric amplifier (PPLN OPO/LNB OPA) system was tested by a series of spectroscopic experiments that are sensitive to the quality of its coherent tunable output radiation. The continuous tunability of signal and idler waves was verified by recording gas-phase photoacoustic absorption spectra of the 1.52-μm (v₁+v₃) band of acetylene and the 3.3-μm v₃ band of methane. Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectra (CARS) spectra of methane in pulsed supersonic jet show that the optical bandwidth of the OPO signal wave is approx. 200 MHz, approaching the transform limit of the pulses.
