Abstract
Several important characteristics of optical parametric oscillators can be substantially improved by nonresonantly reflecting the pump wave back upon itself after it has passed through the nonlinear medium. Benefits are reduced thresholds, decreased buildup times, and improved efficiencies. Steady-state analyses of doubly and singly resonant oscillators are presented.
