A mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator (OPO) with the idler wavelengths of 3591 nm, 3384 nm, and 3164 nm at the repetition of 76.8 kHz is reported, and a high repetition frequency acousto-optic Q-switched Nd:YVO 4 laser is used as the pump source. The OPO is designed as an external noncolinear

โฆ Synopsis
Optical parametric oscillators are becoming important sources of tunable coherent radiation in the near infrared spectral region. This paper summarizes some of the basic concepts of infrared optical parametric oscillators and presents the results of calculated performance parameters of devices based on arsenate crystals.

Synchronously-pumped ultrafast optical parametric oscillators are a generic technology capable of providing broadly-tunable high-repetition-rate ultrafast pulses across the visible and the infrared. Recent research in the authors' group and elsewhere has extended the performance of ultrafast optical
A high energy eye-safe and mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is demonstrated. The nonlinear media is a Y-cut KTA crystal with the length of 20 mm, which is pumped by a Nd:YAG laser. Both eye-safe and mid-infrared laser are output with high energy. When the pump energy is 1 J and the p
Continuous tunable mid IR generation is analyzed by difference frequency generation (DFG) in an optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The periodically poled KTiOPO 4 (PPKTP) crystals are used for DFG of position tuning, temperature tuning and noncollinear angle tuning. Using position tuning and tempe
