Abstract
Based on a Type II non-critically phase-matched KTA crystal, a low-threshold and high conversion efficiency mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped by a diode-end-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser is demonstrated. The OPO threshold is only 0.825 W. The maximum output power of 435mW at 3.47 μm is achieved with the repetition rate of 30 kHz, corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 4.4%. The photon conversion efficiency is as high as about 64%. The pulse width is 3.5 ns with a peak power of 4kW for the maximum output power.
