Abstract

A 100 Hz compact 2 μm optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on a type II non-critically phase-matched KTiOPO4 crystal (KTP) was reported. The monolithic KTP crystal was pumped with a passively Q-switched 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser. At a repetition rate of 100 Hz and a single pulse energy of 5.8 mJ of pump light, a 2128-nm laser output was achieved with a maximum of 1.17 mJ of parametric light at the degenerate point, with a parametric light pulse width of approximately 10.5 ns, corresponding to a pump to parametric light conversion efficiency of 20.1 %.
