    • PPLN Waveguide Mixers: super efficient frequency converter

      PPLN waveguide mixers are frequency conversion modules which integrate PPLN waveguide chips into a convenient, compact, robust, cost-effective packaged format for your application convenience. With waveguide structure, PPLN waveguide mixers have higher efficiency in single-pass configuration as compared to bulk mixers. Optimized for your desired input pump lasers, PPLN waveguide mixers provide the polarization maintained output either in free space or optical fiber, with available output wavelength ranging from UV/Visible to NIR/MIR and output power up to sub-Watt or even up to Watt level.

      Please check the details with "Reference specifications" below.

      Key features

      • Single-pass & high-efficiency, optimized for your specified input pumps
      • Available output wavelength from UV/Visible to NIR/MIR
      • Available mixing configuration from fundamental type to advanced type (such as SHG, SFG, and DFG etc.)
      • Available for fiber or free space as input/output coupling interfaces (such as 1x0, 1x1, 2x0, 2x1, 0x0 , 0=free space, 1=one fiber, 2=dual fibers
      • Optional alignment beam for free space input
      • Available with integrated thermistor/TEC for QPM temperature optimization & optional photodiode (PD) for power monitoring/automatic power control
      • Convenient, compact and robust and available for a variety of application customizations

      Bestseller

      1. The wavelengths of the best sellers are within +/- 0.5 nm typically. Custom wavelengths are available upon request. 
      2. The SHG conversion efficiency is conservatively listed by pump condition with single-longitudinal mode lasers.  Normally the efficiency could be doubled with multi-longitudinal mode lasers e.g. 180%/W @532 nm.
      3. Typical coupling efficiency is >75%~ 80% with single mode PM fiber.  Higher efficiency is available. 
         

      Example available configurations:

      Reference specifications

      1. 1x1 SHG for 2W 780 nm generation (new)

      3. 1x0 SHG for 532nm generation
      4. 1x1 SHG for 532nm generation

      To avoid possible damage on fiber connectors, direct fiber splicing is recommended. However, if FC/APC or FC/PC connectors are needed, one can use commercially available components to handle fiber connection such as Fiber-to-Fiber U-Benches. (Thorlabs Inc.)

      Example: IC-OPO

      an ultra-low power consumed optical parametric oscillator (OPO)

      The intracavity design of the OPO utilizes the high circulating power in the cavity to achieve extremely low threshold pump power. 4 series with 3 wavelength cover ranges are provided upon request.

       

      OPO-B and OPO-S are the OPO module with fixed wavelength specified by the customer in the range of either α, β or γ. In contrast, OPO-TB and OPO-TS are the wavelength tunable OPO that cover the entire range.

       

      B: broad bandwidth (few nm)

      S: single longitudinal mode

      T: tunable

    • PPLN Pulse Mixers

      PPLN under pulse operation (ns/ps/fs) can be classified in a special category due to its unique features. Under high peak power operation, conversion efficiency in general could be relatively higher and could even enable OPA/OPG applications. However. crystal damage, pulse spectrum, and temporal walk-off effect in general needs to be taken into special consideration. We have developed several pulse bulk/waveguide mixers with optimization of above special pulse conditions.

      Key features

      • Pump by ns-Q switch laser or ps/fs ultrafast laser, with spectrum, temporal walk-of and damage optimization.
      • Available output wavelength from UV/Visible to NIR/MIR 
      • Available mixing configuration from fundamental type to advanced type     (such as SHG/SFG/DFG, or OPA/OPG etc.)
      • Available for fiber or free space as input/output coupling interfaces      (such as 1x0, 1x1, 2x0, 2x1, 0x0 , 0=free space, 1=one fiber, 2=dual fibers, with optional alignment beam for free space input) 
      • Available with integrated thermistor/TEC for QPM temperature optimization & optional photodiode (PD) for power monitoring/automatic power control
      • Convenient, compact and robust and available for a variety of application customizations
