Abstract

A tunable dual-signal optical parametric generator (OPG) based on multi-grating periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) is presented. An acousto-optic device (AOD) was used as a beam splitter outside the cavity of a high-repetition-rate, Q-switched 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser. A synchronous and widely tunable dual-signal OPG was obtained by coupling the split beams into two parts with different poled periods in the same PPLN crystal and by tuning the temperature of the crystal. A total conversion efficiency of 27.9% was achieved when the system operated at 1687 and 1864 nm.
