Abstract
We demonstrate room temperature femtosecond optical parametric generation with high average output power in periodically poled MgO-doped stoichiometric LiTaO3. Direct pumping with 725-fs pulses from a passively mode-locked thin disk laser at 1030 nm resulted in stable 1.5 W average signal power at 1484 nm at the full laser repetition rate of 59 MHz. With this demonstration we achieved a significant simplification of our recently presented red-green-blue laser source because no temperature stabilization of any nonlinear crystal is required.
