Title :
CW optical parametric oscillators: 25 years young
Author_Institution :
Stanford Univ., CA, USA
Abstract :
CW doubly resonant oscillators have demonstrated thresholds of less than 1 mW, 80% conversion efficiency, and single mode operation with linewidths of less than 1 kHz. CW operation has recently been extended to singly resonant parametric oscillators with greater than 1 W of output in a single frequency
