High energy quasi-phase matched optical parametric oscillation using Mg-doped congruent LiTaO(3) crystal.
We report on high energy optical parametric oscillation of 118 mJ output with ~70% slope efficiency in 10 ns duration of 30 Hz operation by using Mg-doped congruent composition LiTaO(3) (MgLT). The periodically poled MgLT device with ~30 microm period for quasi-phase matching (QPM) in 5-mm-thick crystal are prepared. MgLT crystal could become a candidate for high-energy and higher durability material of QPM device, compared to conventional Mg-doped congruent composition LiNbO(3).
