Research abstract
Many applications exit for tunable laser light in the mid-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, located in the wavelength range from 1.3-5 microns. Cygnus Laser Corporation intends to conduct a rigorous research and development program in the field of compact, highly reliable, tunable single-frequency optical parametric oscillators. We believe we have already demonstrated the feasibility in principle of a diode pumped OPO. Hence during Phase I, we will construct a diode pumped noncritically phase matched optical parametric oscillator.
