摘要
We demonstrate optical parametric oscillation in a millimeter-sized whispering gallery resonator suitable for broadband infrared spectroscopy. This nonlinear-optical process is quasi-phase-matched using a radial domain pattern with 30 mu m period length, inscribed by calligraphic poling. The output wavelengths are selected in a controlled way over hundreds of nanometers. We achieve this by increasing the temperature of the resonator in steps such that the azimuthal mode number of the pump wave rises by one. As a proof-of-principle experiment, we measure a characteristic resonance of polystyrene in the spectral range of 2.25-2.45 mu m. (C) 2015 Optical Society of America
