摘要
We report an efficient mid-infrared extracavity optical parametric oscillator(OPO)based on the nonlinear crystal BaGa4Se7 pumped by a diode-side-pumped Q-switched Nd:Y3 Al5O12(Nd:YAG)laser.The maximum pulse energy of 1.03mJ at 4.25μm is obtained with the repetition rate of 10 Hz and pulse width of 12.6 ns when the pump energy was 13.5mJ,corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 7.6% from 1.064μm to 4.25μm.The idler wave slope conversion efficiency was 12%.To the best of our knowledge,it is the highest reported conversion efficiency for the compact BaGa4Se7 OPO driven by the Nd:YAG laser.
