Abstract

An optical parametric oscillator has been designed on the basis of MgO:PPLN periodic structure. A compact nanosecond Nd:YAG laser has been used as a pump source at 1.053 μm. The pump pulse length is 5–7 ns at a maximum pulse energy of 300 μJ and a frequency of 1000–5000 Hz. The oscillation threshold is 22 μJ at 3 μm and 48 μJ at 4.3 μm. The maximum conversion efficiency from incident pump power to the idler output is 3.9%.
