Integral optical resonator for frequency conversion

Abstract

An integral optical resonant cavity for frequency conversion is provided. The integral optical resonant cavity includes: a housing, a cavity-length adjustment device, a temperature control device and a nonlinear crystal provided in the temperature control device; a first plano-concave mirror and a second plano-concave mirror included in the cavity-length adjustment device and a nonlinear crystal form the optical resonant cavity; and light passes through the first plano-concave mirror, the nonlinear crystal and the second plano-concave mirror sequentially. The stability of the length of the optical resonant cavity is improved through an integral design thereof, and the stability of the temperature of the nonlinear crystal in the integral optical resonant cavity is improved through the temperature control device, thereby stably controlling relative phases between light fields for the frequency conversion in the resonant cavity. Meanwhile, the length of the integral optical resonant cavity is accurately controlled through the cavity-length adjustment device.
