Abstract
In this paper, we report a theoretical systematic study of continuous wave intracavity backwards optical parametric oscillators based on periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) for mid-infrared (mid-IR) light generation. We study the effects of varying different cavity parameters including nonlinear crystal length, cavity size, pump laser diode spot size, output coupler radius, and cavity loss values on the output power and threshold of the proposed mid-IR laser. The effects of different physical phenomena are included in the model including pump depletion due to the nonlinear conversion process, the thermal lens effect, and mode overlap between the beams in the nonlinear crystal. We show that high output powers in the mid infrared (>500 mW at 3.2 μm) can be achieved with proper cavity design and that a laser threshold with a PPLN as short as 2 cm can be reached.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
