PPLN (periodically poled lithium niobate) is a nonlinear crystal for efficient wavelength conversion. Periodic poling does not change the crystal's optical properties, so PPLN retains the properties of LiNbO₃. It has a broad transmission range (0.4-4.5 μm) and achieves a maximum nonlinear coefficient of d₃₃=17.3 pm/V under quasi-phase matching. It offers high gain, low loss, coverage of the near- and mid-infrared regions, and a long service life. It can be used for frequency doubling, difference-frequency generation, sum-frequency generation, optical parametric oscillation, and optical parametric amplification, and is therefore widely used in optical parametric oscillators. Temperature control is required during operation. An OPO process using PPLN can generate light at 3~4.5 μm and provide efficient output in bands that are difficult to achieve with conventional phase matching, giving it broad application prospects.
