  • We built an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) generating orthogonally polarized signals at different wavelengths simultaneously, based on a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal. The OPO was pumped by ns-pulses at 1.064 ㎛ from a diode-pumped solid-state laser, where we found the type-0 and the type-1 quasi-phase matching conditions were satisfied simultaneously in the PPLN crystal. This enabled us to create a coherent light source which can emit dual signals which could be accessed easily by rotating a polarizer.

  • In this paper, we have constructed singly resonant KTP OPO system pumped by 532 nm to obtain broadly frequency tunable pulses. Also we have mathematically simulated frequency tuning range, phase matching angle for 900 nm output and threshold energy, and we calculated output intensity using wave propagation equations for optical parametric oscillator which include walk-off, pump depletion.

  • As the application area of range finder initially developed for military purpose has been extended, the necessity of precision measurement for long distance and its miniaturization is being presented. Recently, LRF(Laser Range Finder) is widely used because it shows more accurate results of range finding. However, most of LRFs use laser source which have wavelength ranges harmful to the human eyes. In this study, we developed the LRF using OPO(Optical Parametric Oscillator) which can stretch laser wavelength to safe region and realized more compact one using solid state laser

  • Squeezed light는 중력파 검출기의 양자 잡음을 줄여 측정의 민감도를 향상시키기 위해 사용하는 양자 광원이다. Squeezed light는 광학적 손실에 민감하기 때문에 중력파를 측정하기 위해서는 정밀한 mode matching이 필요하다. 하지만 mode mismatching은 실제 실험 상황에서 동적으로, 그리고 무작위로 나타나므로 정밀하게 조정하기 어렵다. Mode mismatching에 견고한 squeezed light를 만들기 위해서는 multimode squeezed light가 필요하다. Multimode squeezed light를 만드는 방법으로 는 self-imaging cavity를 이용하여 생성하는 방법이 대표적으로 알려져 있다. 이 발표에서는 self-imaging cavity 기반으로 만든 optical parametric oscillator(OPO) 에서 생성된 squeezed light가 기존 OPO로 생성한 squeezed light 보다 여러 spatial mode mismatching (위치, 방향, 크기 빗맞음)에 대해 견고함을 소개한다.
