Due to the fact that periodic polarization does not alter the optical properties of the crystal, PPLN possesses the characteristics of LiNbO3 and has a wide transmittance range (0.4-4.5 μ m).The maximum nonlinear coefficient d33=17.3 pm/V under quasi phase matching is achieved, which has the characteristics of high gain and low loss. It covers the near and mid infrared regions and has a long service life. It can be used for frequency doubling, differential
Product Description
Due to the fact that periodic polarization does not alter the optical properties of the crystal, PPLN possesses the characteristics of LiNbO3 and has a wide transmittance range (0.4-4.5 μ m).The maximum nonlinear coefficient d33=17.3 pm/V under quasi phase matching is achieved, which has the characteristics of high gain and low loss. It covers the near and mid infrared regions and has a long service life. It can be used for frequency doubling, differential frequency, sum frequency, optical parametric oscillation, and optical parametric amplification, etc. Therefore, it is widely used in optical parametric oscillators.
Temperature control must be conducted in use, and the OPO process using PPLN can obtain the light wavelength of 3~4.5 μ m, which can realize the conventional phase matching is difficult to achieve efficient output band, with wide application prospects.
