摘要
We report on efficient midinfrared d ifference-frequency generation (DFG) in orientation-patterned GaAs by intracavity mixing the signal and idler pulses of a narrowband nanosecond optical parametric oscillator based on periodically poled LiNbO3. The maximum average DFG output power reached 215 mW at 8.15 mu M for a repetition rate of 35 kHz. The temperature tuning range spanned over 8026-8710 nm. The maximum overall conversion efficiency from 1 to 8 mu m amounted to similar to 1.3%. (C) 2021 Optical Society of America
