Abstract:We reported a mid-infrared intra-cavity ZnGeP2 optical parametric oscillator (ZGP OPO) pumped by an acousto-optic (AO) Q-switched Ho:YAG oscillator. The 1908nm laser with an output power of 20W was used as the pump source of the Ho:YAG AO Q-switched oscillator. ZGP OPO was placed inside the Ho:YAG oscillator. Under the Q-switched repetition frequency of 5kHz, the maximum output power of the mid-infrared laser was 1.5W. The optical-optical conversion efficiency of the 1908nm laser to the mid-infrared laser was … Show more
