5.4 W, 9.4 ns Pulse Width, Long-Wave Infrared ZGP OPO Pumped by Ho:YAG MOPA System

We demonstrated a narrow pulse-width long-wave infrared ZnGeP<sub>2</sub> (ZGP) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped by a 2.1 &#x03BC;m Ho:YAG master oscillator power-amplifier (MOPA). By short-cavity structure, a minimum pulse width of &#x223C;12 ns was achieved at 1kHz, 2...

description We demonstrated a narrow pulse-width long-wave infrared ZnGeP<sub>2</sub> (ZGP) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped by a 2.1 &#x03BC;m Ho:YAG master oscillator power-amplifier (MOPA). By short-cavity structure, a minimum pulse width of &#x223C;12 ns was achieved at 1kHz, 2kHz and 3kHz in Ho:YAG oscillator. By employing a three-stage amplifier, a maximum average output power of 73.1 W with pulse width of &#x223C;17 ns at the pulse repetition frequency of 3 kHz was obtained. Then a ZGP OPO pumped by the Ho:YAG MOPA was demonstrated. The maximum average output powers of 5.48 W at 8.2 &#x03BC;m and 22.4 W at 2.8 &#x03BC;m were obtained, corresponding to the pulse width of &lt;10 ns.
