We report a high-power, cw, singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO) using a simple, compact fiber pump laser architecture in the green. The SRO, based on MgO:sPPLT, is pumped by 9.6 W of single-frequency cw radiation at 532 nm obtained by single-pass second-harmonic generation (SHG) of a 30 W Yb fiber laser, also in MgO:sPPLT. Using two identical crystals of 30 mm length for SHG and SRO, we generate cw idler powers of up to 2 W over 855-1408 nm, with a peak-to-peak power stability <11.7% over 40 min, in a TEM(00) spatial mode with M(2)<1.26. Using finite output coupling of the resonant wave, we extract 800 mW of signal power with peak-to-peak power stability <10.7% over 40 min, and a frequency stability <75 MHz over 15 min. The signal and idler output have TEM(00) beam profile with M(2)<1.52 across the tuning range.
我们报道了一种高功率连续波单谐振光学参量振荡器(SRO),它采用了一种简单、紧凑的绿色光纤泵浦激光器结构。该SRO基于MgO:sPPLT,由通过30 W Yb光纤激光器的单通二次谐波产生(SHG)在532 nm处获得的9.6 W单频连续波辐射泵浦,同样也在MgO:sPPLT中。使用两块长度为30 mm的相同晶体用于SHG和SRO,我们在855 - 1408 nm范围内产生了高达2 W的连续波闲频光功率,在40分钟内峰峰值功率稳定性<11.7%,处于TEM(00)空间模式且M(2)<1.26。通过对谐振波采用有限输出耦合,我们提取了800 mW的信号功率,在40分钟内峰峰值功率稳定性<10.7%,在15分钟内频率稳定性<75 MHz。在整个调谐范围内,信号和闲频光输出具有TEM(00)光束轮廓且M(2)<1.52。
