Abstract
Here we present a short cavity PPSLT singly resonant OPO with double pass pumping, emitting in the mid-IR with high conversion efficiency, high average power at kilohertz repetition rate with considerable potential for energy scaling. We employ a 11 mm long, 10 mm wide, and 2 mm (along z axis) thick PPSLT crystal (manufactured by Deltronic Crystal Industries Inc., NJ) with three polled zones with different domain inversion periods (30.2, 30.3 and 30.4 μm), equally spaced along the width of the crystal.
