Abstract
We have presented simulations of an periodic optical parametric oscillator (POPO) with two crystals which can down-convert diode or Ti:sapphire laser radiation at a threshold power as low as 105 mW. Further threshold reductions and efficiency improvements have been seen in simulations with N>2 and high transmission per period for all three fields
