Abstract
We constructed diffusion-bonded stacks of periodically poled lithium n iobate (PPLN). Such crystals combine the advantages of planar processi ng used to make PPLN wafers with the power handling capability of larg e apertures. We demonstrated an optical parametric oscillator that use s a 3-mm-thick diffusion-bonded stack consisting of three 1-mm-thick P PLN crystals. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
