Abstract
We demonstrate a mid-infrared (mid-IR) ZnGeP2 (ZGP) rectangle ring optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped by an actively/passively Q-switched polycrystalline Ho:YAG laser. When the rectangle ring OPO is pumped by the actively Q-switched (AQS) laser, the maximum output power containing signal (3.84 μm) and idler (4.58 μm) reaches 11.8 W, which corresponds to a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 20 kHz and a slope efficiency of 53.5%. Using the passively Q-switched (PQS) laser as the pumping source, the rectangle ring OPO generates an output power of 4.9 W at a PRF of 27.8 kHz. To the best of our knowledge, we first demonstrate a ZGP rectangle ring OPO pumped by a PQS laser.
