We report a new type of optical parametric oscillator(OPO)cavity,i.e.,a compound cavity OPO.Both the numerical simulation and experimental results show that this type of cavity is superior,in that its threshold is lower than that of a simple narrow-band cavity with dispersive elements,and its external efficiency is increased while its narrow linewidth remains nearly the same across the tunable range of the nonlinear crystals used.
