Abstract

A PC-controlled optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on fan-out periodically poled lithium niobate (MgO : PPLN) structures was developed. Continuous wavelength tuning (2.40–3.85 μm) was realized via linear displacements of fan-out MgO : PPLN structures using a PC-controlled precision motorized translation stage. The total wavelength scanning time in the range of 2.40–3.85 μm was ≤1 min. The OPO was developed as a source of tunable radiation for use in a laser photo-acoustic gas analyzer. Studies of the methane absorption spectrum showed a good coincidence of the experimental and theoretical data.
