摘要：

We report on the observation of self-injection-locking of the signal wave of an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) with the intracavity frequency doubled idler wave. The two-mirror OPO is based on a periodically poled LiNbO3 (PPLN) crystal and pumped with a grating stabilized, continuous-wave (CW) single-frequency diode master-oscillator power-amplifier (MOPA) system. Simultaneous quasi-phase-matching (QPM) of OPO and second harmonic generation (SHG) is provided in the same crystal which carries two different domain gratings. The beat of the signal wave and the frequency-doubled idler wave is suppressed within a 500-kHz wide frequency range centered around zero as expected for self-injection-locking. The measurements prove the feasibility of optically phase-stabilized by-three-division of an optical frequency with CW-OPOs using cascaded nonlinearities. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America.
