Mid-infrared generation in ZnGeP2 pumped by a monolithic, power scalable 2-μm source
Mid-infrared generation in ZnGeP2 pumped by a monolithic, power scalable 2-μm source
We present a power scalable, all-fibre, monolithic pulsed source based on a thulium doped fibre master-oscillator power amplifier design. This source produced 200 μJ pulses with 20 - 40 ns duration at a repetition rate of up to 75 kHz resulting in up to 12 W of linearly polarized light at 2.044 μm. This was used to pump a walk-off compensated ZnGeP2 optical parametric oscillator which generated 3 W in the mid-infrared, with a conversion efficiency of 25%.

Abstract
We present a power scalable, all-fibre, monolithic pulsed source based on a thulium doped fibre master-oscillator power amplifier design. This source produced 200 μJ pulses with 20 - 40 ns duration at a repetition rate of up to 75 kHz resulting in up to 12 W of linearly polarized light at 2.044 μm. This was used to pump a walk-off compensated ZnGeP2 optical parametric oscillator which generated 3 W in the mid-infrared, with a conversion efficiency of 25%.
