Abstract

Powerful and compact coherent mid-infrared radiation source is crucial for a vast number of applications. A widely tunable 3-

$15~\mu $

m optical parametric amplifier with BaGa2GeSe6 crystal pumped by a picosecond mode-locked 1064 nm laser was demonstrated for the first time. Type-I produced a maximum energy of

$377~\mu $

J at

$5.2~\mu $

m, while type-II achieved a maximum energy of

$294~\mu $

J at

$6.7~\mu $

m under the incident pump energy of 11.8 mJ, corresponding to the pump-to-idler energy efficiency of 3.2% and 2.5%, respectively. Furthermore, the corresponding phase-matching angles for 3–

$15~\mu $

m were measured experimentally. Moreover, the conversion efficiency, typical pulse temporal shapes and beam spatial profiles of idler were calculated based on a BaGa2GeSe6-OPA numerical model. The results indicate the potential of BaGa2GeSe6 pumped at 1064 nm for realizing high-efficiency and high-energy mid-infrared laser radiation.

由模式锁定 Nd: YAG 激光器泵浦的宽调谐 BaGa2GeSe6 光参量放大器

功能强大、结构紧凑的相干中红外辐射源对大量应用至关重要。利用皮秒锁模 1064 nm 激光泵浦的 BaGa2GeSe6 晶体，首次展示了一种 3- $15~\mu $ m 的广泛可调谐光参量放大器。在入射泵浦能量为11.8 mJ的情况下，I型放大器在5.2~\mu m产生的最大能量为377~\mu $ J，而II型放大器在6.7~\mu $ m产生的最大能量为294~\mu $ J，对应的泵浦-idler能量效率分别为3.2%和2.5%。此外，实验还测量了 3- $15~\mu $ m 的相应相位匹配角。此外，还根据 BaGa2GeSe6-OPA 数值模型计算了惰流器的转换效率、典型脉冲时间形状和光束空间轮廓。结果表明，在 1064 nm 波段泵浦的 BaGa2GeSe6 具有实现高效率、高能量中红外激光辐射的潜力。
