111 W picosecond Ho:YAG amplifier and its application to 10 μm mid-infrared generation.
In this Letter, we report a high-power picosecond Ho:YAG amplifier system delivering an average output power exceeding 111 W at a repetition rate of 10 kHz, achieving an overall gain of 93 dB, with beam quality characterized by M2 values of 1.53 and 1.65 in two orthogonal directions and highly stable operation (1.7% RMS fluctuation). To the best of our knowledge, this represents the highest average power demonstrated thus far for a 2-μm picosecond laser amplifier. Utilizing this robust amplifier as a pump source, we further developed a ZnGeP2 (ZGP) optical parametric generator (OPG) for mid-infrared radiation, successfully achieving direct emission at 10.1 μm with an output power of 123 mW under a pump power of 16 W. Notably, this work demonstrates the first direct 10 μm generation from a ZGP-based OPG.
