High-Resolution Pulsed Optical Parametric Oscillator Laser System
Purdue University researchers have developed a novel design for a pulsed optical parametric oscillator laser that is low cost and simple to construct. This design is a step forward in the field because it eliminates the need for reflecting cavity length modulation, simplifying laser fabrication and operation. The laser radiation from the system is single-frequency, which is important for increasing the accuracy and precision of a wide range of laser spectroscopic techniques.
