The OPO is based on a KTiOPO4 crystal that is pumped by a Ti:sapphire laser operating at a wavelength of 828 nm. The two-step conversion is efficient, since both nonlinear conversion processes are phase matched in the same crystal.EnglishOptical frequency conversionOptical pumpingSingle crystalsOptical parametric oscillators (OPO)Parametric generationPhase matchingSum frequency generation (SFG)Parametric oscillatorsConference Paper10.1109/CLEO.1997.603434
