A synchronously-pumped optical parametric oscillator (SPOPO) based on a periodically-poled, MgO-doped lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) crystal was realized exploiting additive manufacturing technology for the pump and focusing section of the cavity, where careful predesign of the tightly-packed mounts and optics can be very helpful in view of a more traditional mechanical realization. Surprisingly, the 3D-printed plastic parts ensured long-term stability of the (quite sensitive, in principle) femtosecond SPOPO.

Abstract

A synchronously-pumped optical parametric oscillator (SPOPO) based on a periodically-poled, MgO-doped lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) crystal was realized exploiting additive manufacturing technology for the pump and focusing section of the cavity, where careful predesign of the tightly-packed mounts and optics can be very helpful in view of a more traditional mechanical realization. Surprisingly, the 3D-printed plastic parts ensured long-term stability of the (quite sensitive, in principle) femtosecond SPOPO.

Applied Physics/Condensed Matter/Materials Science encompasses the resources of three related disciplines: Applied Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, and Materials Science. The applied physics resources are concerned with the applications of topics in condensed matter as well as optics, vacuum science, lasers, electronics, cryogenics, magnets and magnetism, acoustical physics and mechanics. The condensed matter physics resources are concerned with the study of the structure and the thermal, mechanical, electrical, magnetic and optical properties of condensed matter. They include superconductivity, surfaces, interfaces, thin films, dielectrics, ferroelectrics and semiconductors. The materials science resources are concerned with the physics and chemistry of materials and include ceramics, composites, alloys, metals and metallurgy, nanotechnology, nuclear materials, adhesion and adhesives. Resources dealing with polymeric materials are listed in the Organic Chemistry/Polymer Science category.
