Abstract
A novel and efficient system and method for providing an output beam of collimated energy in the 8-12 micron range. The solid state system includes a pump laser ( ) for providing an input beam and an OPO ( ) using an x-cut potassium titanyl arsenate crystal for shifting the input beam from the first wavelength to a second wavelength. A second optical parametric oscillator ( ) is included for shifting the beam from a second wavelength to a third wavelength. The second optical parametric oscillator ( ) uses a cadmium selenide crystal. A tuning mechanism with an associated controller is provided to tune the oscillator as needed for a particular application.
