Abstract

We reported a high-power ZnGeP₂ (ZGP) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped by a Q-switched Ho:YAG laser. The maximum output power of the ZGP OPO was 41.2 W at 107.0 W incident Ho pump power, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 44.6%. The ZGP OPO produced 16-ns mid-IR pulse laser in the 3.74-3.98 μm and 4.38-4.76 μm spectral regions simultaneously. The beam quality was measured to be M²<4.37. The continuous wave maximum average output power of the Ho:YAG laser was 128 W, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 65.8%.

摘要

我们报道了一种由调Q Ho:YAG激光器泵浦的高功率ZnGeP₂（ZGP）光学参量振荡器（OPO）。在入射Ho泵浦功率为107.0 W时，ZGP OPO的最大输出功率为41.2 W，斜率效率为44.6%。ZGP OPO在3.74 - 3.98μm和4.38 - 4.76μm光谱区域同时产生16 ns的中红外脉冲激光。测量得到的光束质量为M²<4.37。Ho:YAG激光器的连续波最大平均输出功率为128 W，斜率效率为65.8%。
