Abstract
Difference frequency generation in quasi-phase-matched LiNbO3 is carri ed out using a Nd:YAG laser and a high power semiconductor laser. Oper ation at quasi-phase-matching degeneracy point results in an ultrawide 0.5 mu m acceptance bandwidth. Crystal-rotation-free wavelength tunin g of 4.0-4.5 mu m, with 0.2 mW output power at 4.5 mu m is achieved. S eparately, a tuning range 3.0-5.5 mu m is demonstrated with sample rot ation and a Ti:Al2O3 laser. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
