5A2 - Theory of the optical parametric oscillator

A. Yariv, W. Louisell
1966 IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics  
A formalism for describing optical parametric oscillation is developed. The theory is applied to the derivation of the oscillation threshold condition, power output, the Manley-Rowe conditions, index matching, and frequency tuning.
