Abstract :
The author reports the stable generation of 0.2-W average power IR pulses around 3.2 μm from the KTP parametric oscillator pumped by the Nd:YAG laser at 1.064 μm. In addition, improved Sellmeier´s equations, which correctly predict almost all of the nonlinear experiments thus far reported, are presented, together with the absolute values of d31 and d32
