Multi-resonant optical parametric oscillator based on 2D-PPLT nonlinear photonic crystal

Opt Lett. 2015 Apr 15;40(8):1861-4. doi: 10.1364/OL.40.001861.

Abstract

The aim of this work is to achieve an optical parametric oscillator based on two-dimensional periodically poled lithium tantalate (2D-PPLT) crystals that are designed to allow multiple reciprocal lattice-vector contribution to the quasi-phase matching scheme. We are particularly interested in the effect of the multi-wavelength parametric generation performed by the 2D nonlinear photonic crystal to achieve a multi-resonant optical parametric oscillator. The performances are studied in terms of generation efficiency and multi-wavelength generation.
