Abstract:
An optical scheme of an optical parametric oscillator with a master laser based on an Nd : KGW active element excited by two orthogonally oriented diode side pump modules is proposed to form radiation pulses with energies above 30 mJ and a repetition rate of 1 – 20 Hz in the eye-safe spectral range of 1.5 – 1.6 μm. The two-module excitation of the active medium makes the distribution of the master laser radiation intensity in the output beam cross section more uniform and provides a reliable operation of the optical parametric oscillator.
