Abstract
We present some experimental results on tunable sum-frequency generation in a periodically poled lithium-niobate waveguide using a multi-wavelength fiber laser pump stabilized by a nonlinear optical loop mirror. We are able to up-convert to about 629Â nm a continuous-wave infrared signal varying from 1497Â nm to 1525Â nm. Such a wideband conversion efficiency is ensured by the multiple spectral components of the laser pump, which is controlled by an adjustable Fabry-Perot filter. Potential applications, in particular for stellar imaging, are discussed.
