Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed over 2-octave ultra-broadband tunable optical vortex parametric laser based on a vortex-pumped optical parametric oscillator by employing non-critical phase-matching LiB3O5 crystal with a 45mm length. With this system, a vortex output was generated within an extremely wide wavelength range of 0.67-2.57 um. Further, the generation of an eitire mid-infrared (6-18 um) optical vortex output with a milli-joule level pulse energy has been demonstrated by utilizing a AgGaSe2 difference frequency generator pumped by a vortex parametric oscillator. The handedness of the midinfared vortex output can be controlled selectively by swapping the lasing wavelengths of the signal and idler outputs.
