Abstract
Optical parametric oscillation has been achieved in a 1.9‐mm‐thick organic nonlinear optical crystal of NPP [N‐(4‐nitrophenyl)‐L‐prolinol]. Tunability from 0.9 to 1.7 μm is obtained for the first time in an organic crystal with a maximum total conversion efficiency of about 5%. Considerable possibilities for further optimization are available.Keywords
