Narrow-Band-Width Infrared Radiation from a Noncritically Phase-Matched ZnGeP2 Optical Parametric Oscillator

  • Published:
Journal of Russian Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

We demonstrate a narrow-band-width tunable infrared radiation in the spectral range 4–7 μm with gratings having different groove densities. We achieve a band width as low as 22 nm employing a diffraction grating having a groove density of 500 lines/mm at 5.6 μm.
