V. Pasiskevicius et al., Singly resonant optical parametric oscillator in periodically poled KTiOPO4 pumped by a Bessel beam, OPTICS LETT, 25(13), 2000, pp. 969-971
Conical pumping was used in a periodically poled KTiOPO4 optical parametric
oscillator for singly resonant idler generation in a nearly diffraction-li
mited axial beam. A single signal-idler pair was generated over the whole t
uning range by use of asymmetric reflectivity of the OPO mirrors. Pump depl
etion of 40% and total conversion efficiency of 27% were obtained. Addition
al OPO tuning capability was demonstrated by adjustment of the angle of the
conical pump beam. (C) 2000 Optical Society of America.
