Towards a multi-Watt femtosecond optical parametric oscillator tunable between 1.5 µm and 1.9 µm wavelength — •Robin Hegenbarth1, Jan-Philipp Negel1, Felix Hoos1, Bernd Metzger1, Andy Steinmann1, János Hebling2, and Harald Giessen114th Physics Institute, University of Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 57, 70550 Stuttgart, Germany — 2Department of Experimental Physics, University of Pécs, Ifjúság út 6, H-7624 Pécs, Hungary

We develop a cost-effective, synchronously pumped singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO) tunable between 1.5 µm and 1.9 µm signal wavelength. We expect up to 40 percent conversion efficiency and <200 fs FWHM pulse duration. The OPO signal is generated in an MgO-doped periodically poled lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) crystal. The pump source is a fiber laser with 1030 nm wavelength, 3 W average output power, <500 fs FWHM pulse duration, and 37 MHz repetition rate. We also use a 5 W average output power Yb:KGW laser as pump source, which scales up the OPO’s signal power even more. This OPO will be used as a pump source of a Mid-IR optical parametric oscillator with several hundred mW average output power tunable between 5 µm and 12 µm wavelength with AgGaSe2 as a nonlinear crystal. Another application is the generation of terahertz radiation via optical rectification in GaAs.
