We report a subharmonic (frequency-divide-by-2) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) with a continuous wavelength span of 3 to 12 µm (−37dB level) that covers most of the molecular rovibrational “signature” region. The key to obtaining such a wide spectral span is the use of an OPO with a minimal dispersion—through the choice of intracavity elements, the use of all gold-coated mirrors, and a special “injector” mirror. The system delivers up to 245 mW of the average power with the conversion efficiency exceeding 20% from a 2.35 µm Kerr-lens mode-locked pump laser. |
