Continuously tunable, 6–14 μm silver-gallium selenide optical parametric oscillator pumped at 1.57 μm

An angle tuned silver gallium selenide (AgGaSe2) optical parametric oscillator (OPO), pumped by the fixed wavelength 1.57 μm output of a noncritically phase-matched KTiOPO4 OPO, yielded radiation continuously tunable from 6 to 14 μm. Energies of up to 1.2 mJ/pulse with bandwidths of ∼5 cm−1   (full...

Zusammenfassung:An angle tuned silver gallium selenide (AgGaSe2) optical parametric oscillator (OPO), pumped by the fixed wavelength 1.57 μm output of a noncritically phase-matched KTiOPO4 OPO, yielded radiation continuously tunable from 6 to 14 μm. Energies of up to 1.2 mJ/pulse with bandwidths of ∼5 cm−1   (full width at half-maximum) were obtained using a 6.5×6.5×35.3  mm long, type I AgGaSe2 crystal.
