Abstract
A systematic investigation of the tunability and efficiency of non-critically phase-matched (NCPM) and critically phase-matched (CPM) KTA OPOs using x- and y-cut crystals orientations has been conducted for the first time. Using our previously developed tandem, KTA-CdSe, OPO technology, we demonstrate a multi-wavelength, mid-infrared source capable of simultaneously delivering tunable radiation in four broad bands covering the range from 1.5 to 10 µm with high conversion efficiency.
