摘要
We present our latest results in power scaling of midwave-infrared (MWIR) optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) based on a Zinc Germanium Phosphide (ZGP) crystal, utilizing a single oscillator fiber laser as pump source. To obtain a compact and complexity-reduced pump source emitting at >= 2.09 mu m, a Q-switched Tm3+:Ho3+-codoped fiber laser was developed. Based on this pump source at an emission wavelength of 2.1 mu m, we achieved an MWIR output power of 12.2W with pulse energies of up to 270 mu J and a conversion efficiency exceeding 43 %. This result exceeds the published power records of ZGP-based OPOs pumped by 2 mu m Q-switched fiber lasers by 50% and sets a new benchmark for average power scaling and pulse energy of Q-switched pump sources.
