Reflecting changes in the field in the ten years since the publication of the first edition, The Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition explores recent advances that have affected this …
In this introduction we list important definitions and relations that will be used throughout the book. We will use SI units exclusively. In a departure from custom, for degenerate mixing …

The potential of nonlinear optical phenomena as a means of providing coherent radiation was realized nearly four decades ago, soon after the invention of the laser. Nonlinear effects …
A tunable mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator (OPO) has been demonstrated using a single ZnGeP2 (ZGP) crystal. A KTP OPO was pumped by an Nd: YAG laser to generate …

We report a high-efficiency and high-power mid-IR laser generation by a periodically poled (PP) MgLN-based optical parametric oscillator (OPO) working at room temperature, from …
M Ebrahimzadeh - Solid-State Mid-Infrared Laser Sources, 2003 - Springer
This chapter provides an overview of optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) in the ultrafast picosecond and femtosecond time-scales as well as the continuous-wave (CW) regime …
We have efficiently generated tunable terahertz (THz) radiation using intracavity parametric down-conversion in gallium arsenide (GaAs). We used three types of microstructured GaAs …
Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are a critical, enabling technology in the development of solid state laser sources, allowing the output from the most mature laser source operating a …
