大功率连续宽带下转换光源的设计

Design of a High Power Continuous Source of Broadband Down-Converted Light

Avi Pe'er, Yaron Silberberg, Barak Dayan, Asher A. Friesem

摘要:

我们提出了一种低阈值光学参量振荡器(OPO)的设计和实验证明的原则,连续振荡在一个大的带宽允许的相位匹配。大的振荡带宽是通过选择性的双光子损耗来实现的,双光子损耗抑制了固有的模式竞争,这往往会使传统OPO的带宽变窄。我们的设计进行成对锁模的许多频率对,直接相当于被动锁模的超短脉冲激光器。获得连续\textit{and}宽带下变频光的高功率的能力使得能够最佳地利用下变频光谱内的相关性,从而即使在经典的高功率水平下也强烈地影响双光子相互作用,并且为诸如双光子光谱学和显微术以及光学扩频通信的应用开辟了新的场所。

英文摘要:

We present the design and experimental proof of principle of a low threshold optical parametric oscillator (OPO) that continuously oscillates over a large bandwidth allowed by phase matching. The large oscillation bandwidth is achieved with a selective two-photon loss that suppresses the inherent mode competition, which tends to narrow the bandwidth in conventional OPOs. Our design performs pairwise mode-locking of many frequency pairs, in direct equivalence to passive mode-locking of ultrashort pulsed lasers. The ability to obtain high powers of continuous \textit{and} broadband down-converted light enables the optimal exploitation of the correlations within the down-converted spectrum, thereby strongly affecting two-photon interactions even at classically high power levels, and opening new venues for applications such as two-photon spectroscopy and microscopy and optical spread spectrum communication.
