Intracavity difference-frequency generation (DFG) in orientation-patterned GaAs (OPGaAs) produces an average power of 24 mW at ~6.7 μm using a Nd:YAG laser pumped Mgdoped periodically-poled LiNbO3 (Mg:PPLN) nanosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) operating at 1.5 kHz.Show More
Recently we investigated cascaded schemes for down-conversion to the mid-IR spectral range above 5 μm by implementing the second stage based on a non-oxide nonlinear crystal inside the cavity of a ns optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on Rb:PPKTP, pumped by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser [1-3]. Intracavity difference-frequency generation (DFG) [2, 3] turned out to be more efficient compared to i...Show More
HgGa2S4 is employed in a 1064-nm pumped optical parametric oscillator, to generate ~5-ns long idler pulses near 4 μm with energies as high as 6.1 mJ and average power of 610 mW at 100 Hz.Show More
Recently we demonstrated that periodically-poled oxide materials can be employed in short cavity, singly-resonant optical parametric oscillators (OPOs), with very low thresholds and high conversion efficiency. We demonstrated sub-ns pulse durations down to ~250 ps for the signal and idler pulses of 1-10 kHz OPOs based on periodically-poled KTiOPO4 (PPKTP) and pumped at 1064 nm. However, with maxim...Show More
Summary form only given. Recently, we demonstrated extremely low threshold optical parametric generation (OPG) pumping a CdSiP2 (CSP) crystal with 500-ps-long pulses from a Nd-laser system [1]. Diode laser seeding enabled narrow-band non-critical OPG operation at 1-10 kHz repetition rate with the idler at ~6100 nm. In comparison to [2], with a simpler Q-switching based pump system, a 4-fold improv...Show More
The orthorhombic biaxial crystal BaGa4S7 has been grown by the Bridgman Stockbarger technique in large sizes with good optical quality. Refractive indices have been measured and Sellmeier equations fitted to analyze the phase-matching configurations.Show More
Operation of a GaS0.4Se0.6 optical parametric amplifier is demonstrated with 5-11 μm idler tuning range and maximum energies -10 μJ for sub-30-ps pulse durations, and performance ~3 times better than with pure GaSe.Show More
Here we report for the first time mid IR OPO with LGS. The sample was only 8.2 mm long, with an aperture of 5 mm (along Z-axis) x 7 mm. It was cut at θ=90°, φ=40.6° for eo-e type-II phase-matching in the X-Y plane and AR-coated with a single layer of YF3 centered at 1250 nm. The 10-mm long linear cavity was formed by a 10-cm radius of curvature (RC) input output coupler on a 3-mm thick YAG substra...Show More
