Talk:Optical parametric oscillator

Aug 17, 2005

I am starting a page on OPOs. Comments and further information on pulsed OPOs are welcome.

Such an article really needs an optical schematic of the device.

The article says: "If the idler wave is given from the outside along with the pump beam, then the process is called difference frequency generation (DFG)". Wouldn't DFG correspond to situation where the pump and the signal are supplied, not the pump and the idler?

Suggestion for additional reference

I suggest to insert the following external reference, which is a page of my own "Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology": article on optical parametric oscillators in the Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology. RPaschotta 16:37, 5 Nov 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for keeping your excellent site freely accessible. I added the link. --Danh 11:54, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
