ZnGeP_2 optical parametric oscillator with 38–124-µm tunability

Abstract: A ZnGeP>(2) (ZGP) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) with wide mid-IR tunability has been demonstrated. The singly resonant angle-tuned ZGP OPO was pumped by 100-ns erbium laser pulses at lambda =2.93mum and yielded output that was continuously tunable from 3.8 to 12.4 mum (type I phase matching) and from 4 to 10 mum (type II phase matching). An OPO pump threshold was less than 1 mJ in the whole 4-12 mum range of the output, and the quantum conversion efficiency reached 35%. An OPO linewidth was typically a f… Show more

“…Moreover, laser wavelengths around 2.9 µm are also suitable pump sources for infrared optical parametric oscillation (OPO) or optical parametric generation (OPG) [43]. One possibility of generating 2.9 µm radiation is the 5 I 6 → 5 I 7 transition of Ho 3+ , which possesses rich energy levels [44].…”

“…For them phase matching can be achieved, which enables their use in continuously tunable laser sources over wide infrared spectral ranges. [29][30][31][32] Detailed spectroscopic SHG studies of semiconductors at low temperatures, with high spectral resolution, and in applied magnetic field were initiated only in recent years. It was discovered that the application of a magnetic field to the noncentrosymmetric diamagnetic semiconductors GaAs and CdTe, for which SHG is allowed in ED approximation, induces new optical nonlinearities.…”
