Over 20-W Mid-Infrared Picosecond Optical Parametric Oscillator

We report on a high-average-power mid-infrared picosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) synchronously pumped by a Nd:YVO<sub>4</sub> mode-locked laser. By use of the MgO-doped periodically poled LiNbO<sub>3</sub> as the nonlinear crystal, up to 20.2-W picosecond laser a...
