Abstract
We report the first demonstration of a tunable mid-IR (1.8-2.4 µm) coherent source generated from OPO in KTP crystal pumped by Nd:YAG (1064 nm) laser. Phase matching, OPO gain and threshold energy are discussed. The tuning range and efficiency are measured at various pumping energies and cavity lengths.
