Abstract
Optical parametric oscillator (OPO) and amplifier (OPA) devices are recognised as versatile coherent tunable spectroscopic sources. This is borne out by our previous work on OPOs based on bulk (3-barium borate (BBO) [1] and lithium niobate (LNB) [2], in which tunability and optical bandwidth are achieved by injection seeding with single-mode tunable diode lasers (TDL). We now report a new modular spectroscopic system, as depicted in Figure 1: a TDL-seeded OPO based on periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) plus a bulk-LNB OPA.
