Abstract

We report on a high power output quasi-continuous-wave nanosecond optical parametric generator (OPG) of congruent periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) pumped by a 1064 nm acousto-opticallyQ-switched Nd: YVO4 laser (duration: 70 ns, repetition rate: 45 kHz, spatial beam qualityM 2< 1.3). The OPG consists of a 38.7 mm long PPLN crystal with a domain period of 28.93 μ. With 5.43 W of average pump power the maximum average output power is 991 mW at 1517.1 nm signal wave of the PPLN OPG.
