Abstract

The efficiency of optoelectronic frequency conversion depending on the frequency and intensity of the modulation signal for monolithic cavity Q-switched and mode locked lasers was investigated. Subcarrier modulation was considered as an example of possible applications. The advantages of a mode locked scheme, aside from higher achievable frequencies, include flat frequency dependence of the conversion efficiency at frequencies below electron-photon resonance and higher stability of the local oscillator frequency, whereas the advantage of Q-switching is its relatively smaller modulation of output light at the signal frequency.
