The bowtie VOPO assembly
The bowtie VOPO assembly is ongoing at ATC. The bowtie in-vacuum OPO (optical parametric oscillator) cavity consists of four mirrors (M1 and M3 without PZT, M2 and M4 with PZT adhered). The mirrors are each held in place by aluminum brackets.

The nonlinear crystal PPKTP is set up on a copper plane with a TC cooler below the crystal, these components are on a one-dimensional motion stage.

The TC cooler is monitored via a temperature sensor (TT2-10KC8-3) and controlled by a temperature controller (THORLABS TC300).

The linear motion stage can be driven directly through an electronic controller (PI E-873 Q-Motion Controller) and software installed on Windows 10 or higher.
