Abstract

The phase-matching mode of KTP-OPO was theoretically analyzed and calculated,and the angle-tuning curve of KTP-OPO was given.A 1.57 μm eye-safe laser based on optical parametric oscillator was experimentally studied,which adopted KTP nonlinear optical crystal.Using a xenon-flash-lamp-pumped 1.064 μm Nd∶YAG laser in intracavity KTP-OPO,under the repetition rate of 5 Hz,a laser output with the energy of 32 mJ and the pulse width of 7.22 ns was obtained.The optical-to-optical conversion efficiency was 41%,which makes long range laser range finding possible.
