We present a high-power, widely tunable, synchronously pumped picosecond pulsed optical parametric oscillator (OPO) generating emissions in the near to mid-infrared wavelength ranges. The OPO is pumped using a Nd:YVO4 picosecond pulsed laser and utilizes a fan-shaped, multi-grating MgO doped PPLN crystal (MgO:PPLN). The system generates near to mid-infrared output across the wavelength range 1.3–5 µm, with a high overall conversion efficiency of 75.15%.
