Abstract
CdSiP2 (CSP) is a nonlinear optical crystal developed as a wider-band-gap analog of ZnGeP2 (ZGP) to enable mid-infrared generation. A direct comparison of the performance of ZGP and CSP crystals in mid-IR generating OPOs was performed with a 4 W Tm:YAP pump laser. CSP was shown to outperform ZGP in this configuration. A ring OPO using CSP with a 2.09 micron pump and 80W of power was used to generate 27 W of mid-IR light demonstrating CSP’s viability for high average power generation. An OPO seeded OPA was then used to directly compare CSP and ZGP with this same source as well as with an upgraded 140W source.
