Název v původním jazyce

Synchronously intracavity-pumped picosecond optical parametric oscillators for sensors

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The research and development of laser systems for intracavity phase interferometry is described. These systems are based on an intracavity synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator (OPO), enabling the generation of two trains of picosecond pulses inside a single cavity. In such a configuration, it is possible to measure the beat note frequency between two pulses and to very precisely determine the phase difference between them. The pump source is a diode-pumped passively mode-locked Nd:YVO4 laser. A periodically poled magnesium-doped lithium niobate crystal is used as the optical parametric oscillator crystal coupling the pump and the signal cavities. We designed a synchronously pumped OPO in a linear and ring cavity configuration allowing generation in a dual-pulse regime. By a mutual detuning of both cavity lengths, the quasi-synchronous regime of pumping was achieved and high harmonics of repetition rate frequencies were generated. Such a system can be useful for applications such as pump-probe spectroscopy or for testing telecommunication systems. We also realized the subharmonic OPO cavity as a source of two independent trains of picosecond pulses suitable for intracavity phase interferometry; we also measured the beat note signal.
