Abstract

A device is described that comprises a pump laser containing an OPO cavity in which the signal field is resonant and the idler exits after a single pass. The total laser power is clamped at the OPO threshold level. The multi-mode laser bandwidth is narrowed by the presence of the OPO. Both the laser population inversion and generated signal power increase linearly with total external pumping power. A Liapunov analysis tests the system's stability to perturbations. The steady state is found to be always stable, irrespective of pumping level.
