摘要: A compact high peak power eye-safer optical parametric oscillator was constructed by pumping it with a master amplifier consisting of large-mode-area ytterbium doped fiber and diode-pumped, passively Q-switched Nd:YAG microchip laser. The has the maximum output pulse energy 570 μJ 3 nanosecond width kHz repetition rate. singly resonating utilized 50 mm periodically poled Lithium Niobate crystal generated 1.5 μm eye-safe laser pulses more than 140 energy,
