| Title | Stimulated Raman scattering in an optical parametric oscillator based on periodically poled MgO-doped stoichiometric LiTaO(3). | | Author(s) | My TH, Robin O, Mhibik O, Drag C, Bretenaker F | | Source | Opt Express 2009 Mar 30; 17(7):5912-8. | | Abstract | The evolution of the spectrum of a singly resonant optical parametric oscillator based on an MgO-doped periodically poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate crystal is observed when the pump power is varied. The onset of cascade Raman lasing due to stimulated Raman scattering in the nonlinear crystal is analyzed. Spurious frequency doubling and sum-frequency generation phenomena are observed and understood. A strong reduction of the intracavity Raman scattering is obtained by a careful adjustment of the cavity losses. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
