Parametric oscillators are a type of driven harmonic oscillator that are based on a nonlinear process in a resonant cavity, which are widely used in various areas of physics. In the past, parametric ...

Optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) have been widely applied in areas ranging from spectroscopy photonics to quantum information. While conventional OPOs typically suffer from weak nonlinearity ...

The standard picture of a laser or optical parametric oscillator comprises a gain medium between two mirrors, which together form an optical cavity. Steady-state oscillation of the output optical ...

The first mirrorless optical parametric oscillator (MOPO) has been unveiled by researchers in Sweden. The simplicity of the device with its ability to tune with high precision in the near- and ...
