The optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on the periodically poled lithium tantalate (PPLT) crystal (40 mm×5 mm×1 mm) is fabricated. The OPO is pumped by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser working at 1.064 μm. An average idler output power (around 3.8 μm) of 1.2 W and signal output power (around 1.48 μm) of 3 W are obtained when the pump power is 20 W.
