Efficient generation of highly squeezed light and second harmonic wave with periodically poled MgO:LiNbO_3
We report on effective generation of continuous-wave squeezed light and
second harmonics with a periodically poled MgO:LiNbO (PPMgLN)
crystal which enables us to utilize the large nonlinear optical coefficient
. We achieved the squeezing level of dB at 860
nm by utilizing a subthreshol optical parametric oscillator with a PPMgLN
crystal. We also generated 400 mW of second harmonics at 430 nm from 570 mW of
fundamental waves with 70% of conversion efficiency by using a PPMgLN crystal
inside an external cavity.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
