    This study demonstrates a monolithic magnesium oxide-doped lithium niobate (MgO:LiNbO3) optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The OPO achieved over 60% pump depletion, showing tunable output for various applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Nonlinear Optics
    • Laser Physics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Monolithic MgO:LiNbO3 crystals are suitable for nonlinear optical devices.
    • Optical Parametric Oscillators (OPOs) are versatile light sources.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the performance of a monolithic MgO:LiNbO3 singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO).
    • To compare standing-wave and ring-geometry resonators for OPO operation.
    • To characterize the tunable output of the OPO.

    Main Methods:

    • Operating a monolithic MgO:LiNbO3 OPO in both standing-wave and ring configurations.
    • Pumping the OPO with the second harmonic of a diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG laser.
    • Measuring pump depletion and tuning characteristics.
