MgO:PPLN for Difference Frequency Generation

1064nm and tunable Ti-Sapphire for Mid-IR generation

Magnesium doped PPLN for Difference Frequency Generation (DFG) from a Nd:YAG laser and a tunable Ti-Sapphire (or similar) lasers, for mid-IR generation in the 2-4.5µm range. The output wavelength can be tuned with each PPLN grating by adjusting the input laser wavelength and varying the PPLN temperature.

DFG crystals are available in the following wavelengths:

 

All of our crystals are supplied clip-mounted, ready for use in our ovens and controller.

  • Multi-band AR coated
  • Flatness <λ/4@633nm
  • Parallel to ±5 minutes
  • Better than 70:30 mark-to-space ratio
  • Polished to 20-10 scratch dig
  • Fewer than two 100μm edge chips per facet
