We report a continuous-wave (CW) KTA (KTiOAsO4)-OPO (optical parametric oscillator) with a compact linear cavity utilizing an LD pumped mixed crystal Nd:Lu0.5Y0.5VO4 laser as the pump source for the first time. A singly resonant oscillator with low signal light loss was designed to reduce the OPO�...
