摘要: By using RbTiOPO4 (RTP) crystals as an electro-optic (EO) modulator and Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber a passive Q switch, high repetition rate doubly Q-switched intracavity optical parametric oscillator (IOPO) is realized. In comparison to EO IOPO, the lower threshold energy, higher output narrower pulse width, conversion efficiency from IOPO can be obtained. considering gradual loss delayed switched time of coupled equations under assumption uniform distributions photon densities are given, numerical solution fits experimental data well.
