We present a high-power single-frequency continuously tunable mid-infrared (MIR) singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO) using $\text{80-mm}$ -long MgO-doped PPLN (MgO:PPLN) crystal pumped by a continuous-wave Yb-fiber laser. The SRO having four-mirror ring-cavity configuration is tunable in the MIR band of $\text{3761--3970 nm}$ yielding a maximum power of $\text{2W}$ at $\text{3895 nm}$ when incident pump power is $\approx \text{16 W}$ . Due to strong phonon–polariton coupling in MgO:PPLN crystal, the intracavity signal-beam spectrum exhibits multiple peaks depicting stimulated polariton scattering. By replacing one of the cavity mirrors with a $\text{5}\%$ outcoupler, the stimulated polariton modes are suppressed as a consequence of additional cavity losses. Along with a tunable signal extending from $\text{1453}$ to $\text{1484 nm}$ , we obtained the maximum signal power of $\approx \text{4W}$ at $\text{1464 nm}$ at the maximum pump power of $\approx \text{16W}$ . In addition, we have measured the frequency and power stability of the outcoupled signal and idler beams over long as well as short durations. The improvement in beam quality of idler was discernible when the intracavity signal was outcoupled, which is essentially a consequence of reduced thermal load on MgO:PPLN crystal.
