Abstract
We report the performance of a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal inside a diode-pumped laser for simultaneous laser Q switching and optical parametric oscillation. The monolithic PPLN crystal consists of two sections, a -long -period electrode-coated section and a -long -period section, functioning as a low-voltage Pockels cell and a quasi-phase-matched parametric gain medium, respectively. At a Q-switching voltage and a switching rate, we measured pulse energy and peak power at with absorbed diode power.
