Abstract :
Mid-infrared (MIR) lasers around 3 to 5 μm have been widely used in many application fields, such as environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, and infrared counter-measurement in recent years. The mid-IR laser output from the OPO can realize high average power and even the fast laser wavelength tunability to some extent. Fiber laser pumped PPMgLN-based OPO features compactness, high efficiency and long term stability, and is thus one kind of the mid-IR laser systems with great prospect.
