    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Laser Physics
    • Nonlinear Optics

    Background:

    • Optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) are crucial for generating tunable laser light.
    • Direct diode-laser pumping offers a compact and efficient alternative to traditional pumping methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate the first singly resonant continuous-wave (cw) optical parametric oscillator (SRO) directly pumped by a diode laser.
    • To characterize the performance and tuning capabilities of this novel SRO.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a 38-mm-long periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal within a four-mirror, signal-resonant ring cavity.
    • Employed a 925-nm diode laser as the pump source, delivering 2.5 W of power.
    • Tuned the diode laser wavelength between 924.0 and 925.4 nm to achieve wavelength tuning.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved generation of 480 mW of single-frequency idler radiation at 2.1 µm.
    • Demonstrated tuning of the signal and idler wavelengths to 1.55–1.70 µm and 2.03–2.29 µm, respectively.
    • Confirmed successful direct diode-laser pumping of a cw SRO.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed diode-laser-pumped SRO represents a significant advancement in compact and tunable coherent light sources.
    • This technology holds promise for applications requiring specific wavelengths in the infrared spectrum.
