3.8-μm Mid-Infrared Laser Quasi-Synchronously Pumped by a MOPA Structured Picosecond Yb Fiber Amplifier With Multi-pulse Operation

3.8-μm Mid-Infrared Laser Quasi-Synchronously Pumped by a MOPA Structured Picosecond Yb Fiber Amplifier With Multi-pulse Operation

A picosecond pulsed mid-infrared laser with multi-pulse operation is experimentally demonstrated. This mid-infrared laser was composed of a fiber laser pumped optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The pump source of this OPO was a master oscillator power amplification-structured picosecond fiber ampl...
