Abstract

Abstract

In this paper, a 1064 nm ytterbium-doped fiber laser with Main Oscillation Power Amplification (MOPA) was used as the pump source to achieve mid-infrared 3.8 μm MgO:PPLN Optical Parametric Oscillation (OPO) laser output. In the pump source, the Distributed Feedback Laser (DFB) was used as the seed source to realize the modulation of the narrow linewidth of the fiber laser. The linewidth of 2.5 nm was compressed to 0.1 nm, and the maximum output power was 40 W. The mid-infrared 3.8 μm MgO:PPLN OPO laser was researched under different pump linewidths. Finally, when the pump power was 18.1 W, the line width was 0.1 nm, the repetition frequency was 1 MHz, and the pulse width was 2 ns, the output laser with the maximum power of 2.06 W and the wavelength of 3822.5 nm was achieved. The corresponding optical-optical conversion efficiency is 11.38%, and the beam quality is M ²= 2.34. This research can efficiency improve the output efficiency of narrow linewidth pumped mid-infrared MgO:PPLN OPO.
