Diffusion bonded (DB) walk-off compensated KTP crystals offer an alternative nonlinear medium for efficient 1 to 2 microm conversion within optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) at low pulse energies. Spatial variations in optical absorption and transmission values measured at 2 mum are reported for two DB-KTP crystals. Finally, a comparison is made between the conversion efficiency obtained from a degenerate 1 microm pumped OPO using a single 20 mm KTP crystal and an equivalent length DB-KTP crystal consisting of two bonded 10 mm crystals.
扩散键合(DB)走离补偿KTP晶体为光学参量振荡器(OPO)在低脉冲能量下实现1至2微米的高效频率转换提供了一种替代的非线性介质。报告了两种DB-KTP晶体在2微米处测得的光吸收和透射值的空间变化。最后,对使用单个20毫米KTP晶体的简并1微米泵浦OPO和由两个键合的10毫米晶体组成的等效长度DB-KTP晶体所获得的转换效率进行了比较。
