Abstract

An idler-resonant KTiOAsO4 (KTA) optical parametric oscillator is demonstrated within a diode-end-pumped acousto-optically Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. With an X-cut KTA crystal, idler wave at 3467 nm and signal wave at 1535 nm are generated. Under an incident diode pump power of 15.4 W, the idler output power of 105 mW and signal power of 720 mW are obtained at a pulse repetition rate of 40 kHz. The pulse widths of the idler and signal waves are 7.2 and 3.1 ns, respectively. The beam quality factors (M2) of the idler wave are within 1.2 in both horizontal and vertical directions.
