Abstract
We report efficient generation of picosecond pulses in the near- and mid-IR in the new nonlinear material pumped at by an amplified mode-locked Nd: laser at a repetition rate. By using single-pass optical parametric generation in 8-mm-long crystal cut for type noncritical phase matching, an average idler power of at together with of signal at has been obtained for of pump at photon conversion efficiencies of 15% and 23%, respectively. Signal pulse durations of are measured for pump pulses.
