摘要
We report the development of a combined optical parametric oscillator based on a fan-out MgO:PPLN crystal and a HgGa2S4 crystal, providing smooth wavelength tuning in the spectral range from 2.5 to 10.8 mu m. A transversely pumped Nd:YAG laser with a pulse energy of similar to 4 mJ and a spatial beam distribution described by a second-order Gaussian function along the x axis and a fourth-order Gaussian function along the y axis is used as a pump source. A maximum achievable radiation energy of the optical parametric oscillator is at a level of 360 mu J for a wavelength of 3.3 mu m, 130 mu J for a wavelength of 4.73 mu m, and 110 mu J for a wavelength of 7.40 mu m. The developed radiation source is used to record absorption spectra of gas mixtures of methane, propane and nitrogen dioxide.
