Optical parametric oscillation tunable over the 940-1220-nm spectral region has been obtained from a monolithic magnesium-oxide-doped lithium niobate ring resonator. The monolithic optical parametric oscillator (OPO) was pumped by the 532-nm second harmonic of a diode-laser-pumped single-frequency Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The exceptional frequency and amplitude stability of the single-frequency pump source provided stable OPO output pulses |
