TL;DR: In this paper, a transverse excitation HF laser has been used to pump a singly resonant CdSe infrared parametric oscillator with peak powers of up to 800 W.
Abstract: A transverse excitation HF laser has been used to pump a singly resonant CdSe infrared parametric oscillator. Tunable output has been generated over the range 4.3–4.5 μm and 8.1–8.3 μm with peak powers of up to 800 W. By a combination of angle tuning and selection of HF pump wavelength, CdSe is phase matchable for generation of radiation from 3.0–4.8 μm and 7.8–22 μm.

TL;DR: The signal beam was more symmetric than that from comparable cavities without image rotation, and it had low values of the beam quality factor, M(2) .
Abstract: We performed laboratory and numerical modeling studies of an optical parametric oscillator with 90° intracavity image rotation. We found that the signal beam was more symmetric than that from comparable cavities without image rotation, and it had low values of the beam quality factor, M2. Oscillator performance agreed well with our numerical model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a stabilization method for 1/3-order subharmonic resonance with an autoparametric vibration absorber was proposed, where a damped pendulum system was attached to the main system as an absorber, in order to induce 1:2 internal resonance.
Abstract: The paper proposes a stabilization method for 1/3-order subharmonic resonance with an autoparametric vibration absorber. A main system with nonlinear spring stiffness and harmonic excitation, i.e., subjected to a sinusoidally changed magnetic force, is introduced as a model which produces 1/3-order subharmonic resonance. A damped pendulum system, whose natural frequency is in the neighborhood of one-half of the main system, is attached to the main system as an absorber, in order to induce 1:2 internal resonance. The 1/3-order subharmonic resonance which occurs in the case of locked pendulum is avoided due to energy transfer between the main system and the absorber, and due to energy dissipation by the absorber. It is also theoretically shown that a stable nontrivial steady state with respect to the 1/3-order subharmonic frequency component is changed into an unstable one due to the absorber. Experimental results show the validity of the autoparametric vibration absorber for the 1/3-order subharmonic resonance.

TL;DR: In this article, a terahertz tuning range of 5.7 to 6.1 µJ was achieved for the KTiOPO4 tera-hertz parametric oscillator with a theoretical analysis of the stimulated polariton scattering.
Abstract: 532 nm green laser is utilized to achieve terahertz tuning range expanding in KTiOPO4 terahertz parametric oscillator. With the theoretical analysis of the stimulated polariton scattering, an expanded tunability of the KTiOPO4 terahertz parametric oscillator can be realized. A wide terahertz output tuning range from 5.7 to 6.1 THz, from 7.4 to 7.8 THz, from 11.5 to 11.8 THz, and from 13.3 to 13.5 THz was demonstrated in our experiment, and the result well matched the analysis. The maximum terahertz output energy was 1.61 μJ under the pump energy of 140 mJ, corresponding to the maximum THz wave conversion efficiency of 1.3 × 10−5, and the threshold pump energy is about 30 mJ.
