Abstract
A mid-infrared dual-wavelength optical parametric oscillator using a double-ended Yb-doped fiber-pumped double-period cascaded MgO:PPLN is reported. By optimizing the crystal’s effective gain length and adjusting the dual-end pump power, dual-wavelength mid-infrared laser outputs of 2.12 W at 2.7 μm and 1.87 W at 4.0 μm were obtained with pump powers of 14.21 W and 15.87 W from the 1064 nm fiber laser. The effects of gain competition in multi-parameter oscillation were effectively mitigated, enabling dual-wavelength mid-infrared synchronous resonance and reducing the power difference from 0.635 W to 0.25 W. The corresponding conversion efficiencies were 14.9 % and 11.7 %, with pulse widths of 55.39 ns and 40.24 ns, and output power stabilities of 3.16 % and 3.58 %, respectively. By adjusting the temperature of the cascaded crystal between 25 °C and 105 °C, tunable mid-infrared laser outputs with wavelengths ranging from 2477.6 to 2705.6 nm and from 3918.4 to 4006.3 nm were achieved, with corresponding tuning bandwidths of 228 nm and 87.9 nm, respectively.
期刊介绍:
The Journal covers the entire field of infrared physics and technology: theory, experiment, application, devices and instrumentation. Infrared'' is defined as covering the near, mid and far infrared (terahertz) regions from 0.75um (750nm) to 1mm (300GHz.) Submissions in the 300GHz to 100GHz region may be accepted at the editors discretion if their content is relevant to shorter wavelengths. Submissions must be primarily concerned with and directly relevant to this spectral region.
Its core topics can be summarized as the generation, propagation and detection, of infrared radiation; the associated optics, materials and devices; and its use in all fields of science, industry, engineering and medicine.
Infrared techniques occur in many different fields, notably spectroscopy and interferometry; material characterization and processing; atmospheric physics, astronomy and space research. Scientific aspects include lasers, quantum optics, quantum electronics, image processing and semiconductor physics. Some important applications are medical diagnostics and treatment, industrial inspection and environmental monitoring.
