Near to Mid-Infrared (1.3–5 μm) Widely Tunable, High Power Picosecond Pulsed Laser
We present a high-power, widely tunable, synchronously pumped picosecond pulsed optical parametric oscillator (OPO) generating emissions in the near to mid-infrared wavelength ranges. The OPO is pumped using a Nd:YVO<sub>4</sub> picosecond pulsed laser and utilizes a fan-shaped, multi-gr...

Summary: | We present a high-power, widely tunable, synchronously pumped picosecond pulsed optical parametric oscillator (OPO) generating emissions in the near to mid-infrared wavelength ranges. The OPO is pumped using a Nd:YVO<sub>4</sub> picosecond pulsed laser and utilizes a fan-shaped, multi-grating MgO doped PPLN crystal (MgO:PPLN). The system generates near to mid-infrared output across the wavelength range 1.3–5 µm, with a high overall conversion efficiency of 75.15%. |
