Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of laser technology. Background technique [0002] 3μm~14μm belongs to the mid-infrared band in the spectrum, covering multiple atmospheric transparent windows and being in the "fingerprint identification area" of many gas molecules. Environmental protection and other fields have important application value. At present, the device that can realize the full coverage of laser in this band is mainly the optical parametric oscillator (OPO). Laser output, because the generation of the laser does not depend on the energy level transition of the doped ions in the gain medium, the OPO technology can be used to develop a mid-infrared laser source with high flexibility and various working modes, which can meet the laser parameters of this band in different fields different needs. [0003] The output characteristics of the optical parametric oscillator mainly depend on the nonlinear crystal and its pump source. At present, th...
