Abstract:

A general discussion of the practical aspects of continuously tunable parametric down-conversion techniques are discussed. The tuning range of interest is the 1. 0 micrometer spectrum, suggesting the use of the 1.06 micrometer neodymium laser line as a pump. Crystal types, oscillator configurations and design parameters are discussed in a semi-quantitative fashion intended for use by systems engineers and analysts.
