Influence of the time modulation of the pump laser caused by mode beating on optical parametric process.
Numerical simulation and analysis about the influence of the time modulation of the pump laser caused by mode beating on optical parametric process are presented with OPA and OPG as examples. It is shown that the output power of the generated beams from optical parametric process is modulated in the time domain and exhibits large power fluctuations, when a Q-switched laser oscillating on several random longitudinal modes is used as the pump laser. Irregular spike sequences of the generated beams are observed. We also find that the output power of the light from optical parametric process becomes more stable and exhibits a less fluctuation, when the number of the longitudinal modes (n) increases.
