Optical parametric oscillator based on degenerate four-wave mixing in suspended core tellurite microstructured optical fiber.

We report on a suspended core tellurite microstructured optical fiber (TMOF) based optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The intracavity gain is provided by the degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) occurred in a 1.5-m-long TMOF synchronously pumped by a mode-locked picosecond erbium-doped fiber laser. The oscillated signal can be generated from 1606 nm to 1743.5 nm, and the idler can be emited from 1526.8 nm to 1395 nm by adjusting the pump wavelength from 1565.4 nm to 1551 nm. A total intenal conversion efficiency of -17.2 dB has been achieved.
