Research Abstract

Axis-slant-type quasi-phase matching (QPM) device was proposed for high enegy wavelength conversion, which was impossible by using a conventional QPM device. Device characterization by optical-parametric wavelength conversion was demonstrated. Also, a 10-mm-thick QPM-MgLN device was realized, which realized a joule-class energy operation in ten-nano-seconds optical parametric oscillation.
