An all-fiber PM MOPA pumped high-power OPO at 3.82μm based on large aperture PPMgLN
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a large aperture PPMgLN based OPO generating 21W of average output power at a slope efficiency of 45%, pumped by the output from a polarization maintaining Ytterbium doped fiber MOPA operating at 1060nm producing 58W of average output power and 20ns pulses at a repetition rate of 100kHz. A maximum of 5.5W of optical power was recorded at the idler wavelength of 3.82μm without thermal roll-off. We have experimentally verified that the pulse rise/fall time plays a significant role in the OPO conversion efficiency and that further enhancement in the OPO conversion efficiency will be possible using sub-nanosecond rise and fall times.

Compact, passively Q-switched, all-solid-state master oscillator-power amplifier-optical parametric oscillator (MOPA-OPO) system pumped by a fiber-coupled diode laser generating high-brightness, tunable, ultraviolet radiation.
We report on a compact, tunable ultraviolet laser system that consists of an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) and a longitudinally diode-pumped Nd:YAG master oscillator-power amplifier (MOPA). The pump energy for the whole laser system is supplied via a single delivery fiber. Nanosecond pulses are produced by an oscillator that is passively Q-switched by a Cr(4+):YAG crystal. The OPO is pump...

A laser-diode pumped Q-switched single-frequency Nd:YAG MOPA operating at 100 Hz was used to generate tunable mid-infrared radiation between 6.27 µm and 8.12 µm by employing a cascaded parametric arrangement consisting of degenerate parametric master-oscillator power amplifier using a large aperture periodically-poled Rb:KTiOPO4 which in turn pumped a ZnGeP2 (ZGP) nonplanar RISTRA OPO.

High power all fiber mid-IR supercontinuum (SC) generation in a ZBLAN fiber pumped by a 2 μm master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system is demonstrated. A semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) passively mode-locked laser with pulse width of 26 ps at 1960 nm is used as the seed of the MOPA system. A laser spectrum extending from ~1.9 μm to beyond 2.6 μm is generated in a subsequen...

We report on the first demonstration of ZGP OPO based on Rotated Image Singly-Resonant Twisted RectAngle (RISTRA) cavity. For the OPO signal wave we achieved a near diffraction-limited beam at 3.4 mum with pulse energy of 10 mJ at repetition rate up to 500 Hz. As a pump source for the ZGP OPO, we utilized a 2-mum, TEM00, Ho:YLF MOPA system producing > 55 mJ energy per pulse at repetition rate r...

We report on the recent progress in the design and development of completely monolithic linearly-polarized pulsed fiber amplifiers seeded by Q-switched fiber laser oscillators. We demonstrate near diffraction limited beam quality with ~20kW peak power (1mJ pulse energy, ~45nsec) pulses and an average power ~20W at 20kHz repetition rate with linearly polarized (>17dB PER) output from a simple MO...
