Abstract

A widely tunable eye-safe noncollinear phase-matched (PM) KTP optical parametric oscillator (OPO) with fixed output direction was proposed. Based on a novel confocal optics system, the input pump beam from a pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser could be deflected into the OPO with a tunable and agile noncollinear angle while maintaining the resonator unaffected. As a result, stable OPO operation with a wide tuning range of 124 nm was achieved easily with a beam scanner. The pump threshold, output energy, linewidth and temporal pulse shapes during wavelength tuning were also measured and discussed.
