optical parametric oscillation
Optical parametric oscillation refers to a nonlinear optical process in which a beam of light interacts with a crystal to produce two new beams with different frequencies. It involves the conversion of energy from a pump beam into signal and idler beams through a parametric amplification mechanism.
