Single-mode diode lasers are attractive pump sources for CW-OPOs due to their compact size tunability and efficiency. In spite of their relatively low output powers, the availability of quasi-phase-matched materials such as PPLN has enabled the demonstration of practical OPOs pumped by such diode lasers and having thresholds as low as 16mW [1]. However, simple Fabry-Perot diode lasers typically exhibit poor frequency stability which limits the usefulness of diode-pumped OPOs as stable sources for applications such as spectroscopy.
