Characteristics Of Optical Parametric Oscillation Using 3-bab 20 4crystal

Optical parametric oscillators (OPO) using beta barium borate (ß- BaB2O4, BBO) pumped at 354. 7nm to cover a broad tunable range of wavelengths from visible to near infrared have been reported1,2,3. In order to assure practical applications, as a tunable coherent light source, it is essential to investigate and characterize the output power and wavelength resolution of an OPO in the tuning range.
