摘要
A coherent mid-infrared laser source, which can be tuned from 7.2 μm to 12.2 μm based on the type-II phase-matched difference frequency generation (DFG) in an uncoated ZnGeP2 (ZGP) crystal, is reported. The two pump waves are from a type-II phase-matched dual-wavelength KTP optical parametric oscillator (OPO) of which the signal and idler waves are tuned during 1.85-1.96 μm (extraordinary wave) and 2.5-2.33 μm (ordinary wave), respectively. The maximum energy of the generated mid-infrared laser is 10 μJ at 9.22 μm, corresponding to the peak power of 2.2 kW. © 2010 Tianjin University of Technology and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
