摘要：

We report a compact all-solid-state mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator with wide tunability using periodically poled 5 mol % MgO-doped LiNbO3 with a multiple-channel structure design and pumped by a compact diode-pump solid-state laser operating at 1.064 mu m. Wide tunability from 1.44 to 1.58 mu m at the signal beam wavelength and from 3.28 to 4.11 mu m at the idler beam wavelength was achieved by both varying the temperature and translating the crystal through the resonator and the pump beam with no realignment required. The tuning performance and its related factors were analyzed, and at the same time the output performance as well as the effect of mid-infrared absorption of idler beam was investigated.
