Abstract

Single crystals of CdSe were grown by using seeded oriented temperature gradient solution zoning (S-TGSZ) method with the sizes of 20 mm in diameter and 80 mm in length. The crystals were characterized with X-ray diffraction, transmission spectrophotometer and infrared microscope. The transmission spectra showed that the infrared transmission is above 65% and the mean absorption was 0.01–0.04 cm−1 in the range of 2.5–20 μm. With 2.797 μm Cr,Er:YSGG laser as pumping source, experiments of optical parametric oscillator (OPO) were performed by using fabricated 5 mm×5mm×30 mm device crystal. The signal and idler wavelengths and the output average power were respectively 4.3 μm, 8 μm and 400 μJ. Optical-to-optical conversion efficiency was obtained by 12%.
