Continuous tuning of a continuous-wave periodically poled lithium niobate optical parametric oscillator by use of a fan-out grating design.

We report on a new periodically poled lithium niobate grating design with a continuous grating-period change (fan-out). We observed 350cm(-1) (80 nm at 1.5microm) of complete spectral coverage at a constant temperature in a cw optical parametric oscillator. Complete spectral coverage is demonstrated by measurement of an absorption band of CO(2) .
