Optical parametric oscillator: status of tunable radiation in mid-IR to IR spectral range based on ZnGeP{sub 2} crystal pumped by solid state lasers

Journal Article · · Optical and Quantum Electronics
In this review fundamentals of optical parametric oscillator and different phase matching situation have been discussed. Requirement of nonlinear crystal and properties of some mid-IR and IR transmitting crystal have been discussed. Present status of generation of tunable radiation in mid-IR to IR spectral range by OPO based on ZnGeP{sub 2} crystal and other techniques and its applications has been discussed.
