Abstract: A doubly resonant optical parametric oscillator (1) includes a fan-out crystal (5, 55, 105) having an optical non-linearity of order 2 and placed in an optical cavity (6) able to reflect a pump (2). The crystal (5, 55, 105) has an entrance face (59) and an exit face (60), through which faces the optical axis passes, an upper face (57) and a lower face (58).

Abstract: A process for characterizing an optical source including a fixed cavity having a free spectral range, the process including: generating a first radiation; receiving at least a portion of this first radiation by at least one sensor; measuring a signal by each sensor and for each scanned state of the source; on the basis of the signals measured, and for each scanned state of the source, calculating a first data item which represents the wavelength of the first radiation, the calculation including, for each scanned state of the source, a selection of a selected value of the first data item from a plurality of possible values, the selection including the elimination of the values of the first data item which do not correspond to a modulo constant of the free spectral range of the fixed cavity expressed according to the units of the first data item.
