Abstract :
We report here on an efficient architecture to fulfil such requirements namely the cross resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO). In this configuration, the pump beam is single-passed through two crystals, the signal wave is completely output coupled after one crystal whereas the idler is completely outcoupled after the second one.
