Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Optiksel Parametrik Salınıcı’ların (OPO) ve Optiksel Parametrik Yükseltici’lerin (OPA) yapıları ve çalışma prensipleri ile ilgili bir literatür araştırması yapılmıştır. Başlangıçta bu aygıtların çalışma prensiplerinin kaynağını oluşturan lineer olmayan optiğin temel içeriği ortaya konulmuştur. Daha sonra OPO ve OPA sistemlerinin tarihi gelişimleri, yapıları, optik özellikleri, çalışma kriterleri ve bu sistemlerde kullanılan kristaller anlatılmıştır. Ayrıca ayarlanabilir radyasyon üretmek için önemli ölçüde kullanılan bu sistemlerin bilim ve teknolojideki öneminden, kullanım alanlarından bahsedilmiş, aralarındaki farklılıklar ortaya konularak OPO sistemlerinin OPA sistemlerinden daha avantajlı olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır

Optical Parametric Oscillator ve Optical Parametric Amplifier Systems

Abstract

In this study, a literature servay on the structure and operation principles of the Optical Parametric Oscillators (OPO’s) and Optical Parametric Amplifiers (OPA’s) has been carried out. Firstly, the basic contents of nonlinear optics forming the operation principles of this devices have been produced. Later, it has been expressed the historical developments, structures, optical properties, operation criteria of the OPO and OPA systems and the crystals used in these systems. Moreover, it has been mentioned from the application areas, the scientific and techonologic importances of the OPO and OPA systems used significantly to produce tunable radiation and it has been concluded to be more advantageous than the OPA systems of the OPO systems by presenting the differences between both of them.
