英文摘要： This project is to investigate an OPO and OPA technology to obtain high power and narrow linewidth Mid-IR lasers. The main task is to establish a theoretical model on hundred-Watt level Mid-IR lasers with 0.5 nm linewidth and 15% conversion efficiency. The corresponding experiments should also be carried out. In the theoretical model, we especially take into account the factors that are related to the spectral bandwidth in an OPO process. In an OPA process, thermal effects are especially important, which influence the conversion efficiency and the spectral bandwidth. The experiments should also be carried out to verify the theoretical model. A high power narrow linewidth Nd:YAG laser is used as the pump source. An optical parametrical MOPA scheme is used to obtain 3 μm Mid-IR laser output. In the OPO process, emphases are placed on the parameters of the intra-cavity components related to the spectral bandwidth. In the OPA process, we pay attention to the controlling of the temperature gradient of the nonlinear crystal. In this way, we can have high power and narrow linewidth Mid-IR laser output with high conversion efficiency.
