Stanford Group Builds Visible CW Parametric Oscillator

OCT 01, 1968
Physics Today

A continuously operating visible optical parametric oscillator was recently reported by Bob Byer, Kenneth Oshman, Jim Young and Stephen Harris of Stanford (Appl. Phys. Letters, 1 August). The oscillator uses the cw output of an argon laser at 0.5145 micron as pump and lithium niobate as the nonlinear crystal. The signal wavelength is tunable from 0.6800 to 0.7050 micron with the idler in the corresponding range 2.11 to 1.90 microns in the infrared.
