The study showcases the use of MgO-doped periodically poled lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) for generating multiple wavelengths through simultaneous second-harmonic generation (SHG), sum frequency generation (SFG), and Raman conversion.
The setup utilizes a single MgO:PPLN crystal with a uniform poling period of 10.2 µm, allowing for effective phase matching and achieving significant output powers of blue (487 nm) and orange (598 nm) light from a 974 nm laser diode pump.
Unexpected additional wavelengths were also detected, illustrating the potential of this technology for diverse applications in fields like biomedicine and fundamental scientific research.
We demonstrate bandwidth broadening in cascaded MgO-doped periodically poled lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) crystals (Λ=10.3 μm) using the temperature-gradient technique. Up to 2.
