The nonlinear crystal is a periodically poled MgO-doped LiNbO3 （PPMgOLN） with a period of 30 μm. A congruent bulk LiNbO3 （LN） with three different wedge angles of 0°, 4°, and 9° is placed in front of PPMgOLN. Rapid tuning has been achieved by simply moving the LN crystal along its lateral direction and over 60-mW average signal output power was obtained in the whole wavelength tuning range of 1539-1570 nm.展开更多
