Mid-infrared laser radiation has important applications in spectroscopy, bio-medicine, atmospheric detection, optoelectronic countermeasures and etc. To obtain efficient mid-infrared laser radiation, 2.79μm super-Gaussian beam with high beam quality and peak power is proposed to pump the ZGP-OPO, to solve the low conversion efficiency caused by the nonuniform distributed pump beam, backconversion and walk-off effect in the mid-infrared OPO. The Super-Gaussian mirror based 2.79μm electro-optically Q-switched Cr,Er:YSGG laser will be designed to obtain high beam quality and peak power output. The theoretical model of super-Gaussian beam pumped OPO will be modeled to analyze the effect factors of conversion efficiency for the OPO, and the design ideas and theory will be given for the high efficiency OPO system. By improving the parametric gain, we aim at achieving pulse energy of 40 mJ with 80% optical-to-optical conversion efficiency mid-infrared laser output, the tuning range is 4-7μm.The study in this project will provide research basis for the development of high beam quality Q-switching and high efficient OPO technology, and for the expanding of the application of the mid-infrared laser radiation.
