Abstract
We describe a compact all-solid-state continuous-wave, singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO) based on periodically poled . The SRO is pumped at by a laser, which is itself pumped by a 3-W diode laser. Using the intracavity technique produced an oscillation threshold for the SRO of only 1.6 W (diode-laser power). For 3 W of diode pump power some 65 mW was obtained in the (nonresonant) idler (wavelength ). Temperature tuning over the range 10–100 °C resulted in tuning ranges of 1.52–1.54 and for the signal and the idler waves, respectively. Importantly, relaxation oscillations were absent.
