a, The OPO cavity geometry. Cavity mirrors are labelled M1–M6. Pump light is injected from M1 and idler light is out-coupled from M4. Coarse and fine cavity length control are achieved with a picomotor and a piezo mounted on M5 and M6, respectively. b, Power dependence measured for the idler on the pump, when the idler is tuned to 2,040 cm−1. The highest idler average power of 214 mW is measured at the pump power of 1,530 mW. The threshold pump power is 340(50) mW. Slope power efficiency is 19(1)% and photon conversion efficiency is 49(2)%. c, Table summarizing the crystal and mirrors specifications. AOI, angle of incidence; ROC, radius of curvature.
