Abstract :
We have demonstrated a novel scheme to generate watt-level of mid-IR output with intracavity periodically poled RbTiOAsO/sub 4/ (PPRTA) OPOs pumped by a diode-pumped Nd:YALO laser. Outputs of 0.66 W at 3.73 /spl mu/m and 2.13 W at 1.5 /spl mu/m with 39.4 /spl mu/m PPRTA, and 1.7 W of 2 /spl mu/m for 41.95 /spl mu/m PPRTA were achieved.
