3.4-mum ZGP RISTRA nanosecond optical parametric oscillator pumped by a 2.05-mum Ho:YLF MOPA system.
We report on the first demonstration of ZGP OPO based on Rotated Image Singly-Resonant Twisted RectAngle (RISTRA) cavity. For the OPO signal wave we achieved a near diffraction-limited beam at 3.4 mum with pulse energy of 10 mJ at repetition rate up to 500 Hz. As a pump source for the ZGP OPO, we utilized a 2-mum, TEM00, Ho:YLF MOPA system producing > 55 mJ energy per pulse at repetition rate range from single shot to 500 Hz.
