Intracavity difference-frequency mixing of optical parametric oscillator signal and idler pulses in BaGa4Se7

• An overall quantum conversion efficiency of 7.8% is achieved by intracavity mixing the signal and idler of a 1.064 mu m pumped Rb: PPKTP optical parametric oscillator in BaGa4Se7. In this way, a pulse energy of similar to 0.71 mJ is generated at similar to 7 mu m for a repetition rate of 100 Hz. Tuning of the mid-IR radiation is demonstrated by heating of the Rb: PPKTP crystal.
