Abstract
- A continuous-wave singly resonant optical parametric oscillator employing a volume Bragg grating as one of the end mirrors is demonstrated. Due to the high intracavity power, the minute absorption of the grating leads to the thermal induced surface deformation and reflection peak shift. In this letter, the former effect is confirmed to be a cause of beam quality degradation of the resonant signal, while the latter, together with the thermal effects of the nonlinear crystal, leads to unconventional behaviors of power and stability. To the best of our knowledge, the joint effects of the grating and the nonlinear crystal are studied for the first time in details by changing the thermal effects of grating in varied strengths.
