This thesis focuses on the theoretical and experimental research of OPO technology to generate single-frequency 2.05μm pulsed laser and sum frequency technique to produce high-energy 355nm ultraviolet laser. The main contents and innovations of this thesis are as following: The basic principles of OPO and phase matching technology are introduced. Considering the plane wave approximation, the relationships between the pumping threshold of pulse SRO and the pump pulse width, cavity length and coupling output transmission are modeled, and the optimal pump pulse width and its influencing factors are discussed. The relationships between SRO conversion efficiency and pump scales over threshold, coupling output transmission and cavity loss are simulated based on Gaussian beam and Gaussian pulse model. The characteristics of the beam quality and spectral width of the nanosecond pulse SRO are analyzed, and several feasible schemes to improve the OPO output beam quality and compress the spectral width are proposed. An experimental study on the output characteristics of free running 2.05μm nanosecond pulse SRO is carried out. The experimental setup of 2.05μm KTP-SRO pumped by 1.06μm single-frequency laser is designed and fabricated based on the plane-parallel cavity. The output feature and conversion efficiency of OPO with different KTP crystal lengths and different coupling output transmissions are studied emphatically. At 400Hz pulse repetition frequency, a 2.05μm signal laser output with a single pulse energy of 0.9mJ is obtained. The pulse width is about 3.7ns, the corresponding conversion efficiency from the pump to signal is about 18%, and the beam quality factor M2 is better than 3. On this basis, a stable 8-shaped traveling wave ring cavity is designed and optimized, and the output characteristic of ring cavity 2.05μm pulsed KTP-SRO are studied. A fundamental transverse mode 2.05μm wavelength nanosecond pulse laser output with high slope conversion efficiency is obtained. At a repetition rate of 20 Hz, when the input pump pulse energy reaches 11 mJ, a 2.05 μm signal laser output of 2.4 mJ is achieved. The pulse width is around 24 ns, and the pump-to-signal conversion efficiency is about 22%, with the slope efficiency as high as 53%. The output signal laser pulse energy stability is measured to be about 1%. The experimental results confirm the feature of mode limiting and efficient operation of the stable ring cavity, which lays the foundation for the subsequent seed injection. The experimental system of injection-seeded nanosecond pulse KTP-SRO pumped by 1.06μm single-frequency pulsed laser is optimized. The difference of pulse SRO output characteristics before and after seed injection is studied. In the 8-shaped stable ring cavity, by use of the Ramp-Hold-Fire cavity-locking technology, a single-frequency narrow linewidth 2.05μm pulsed laser output from injection seeded OPO is demonstrated. At pulse repetition frequency of 20Hz, when the pumped pulse energy comes to 11.4mJ, a single frequency signal laser at 2.05μm with single pulse energy of 2.6mJ is obtained from injection seeded SRO. The corresponding conversion efficiency from pump-to-signal is about 23% with pulse width of about 17.6ns. The heterodyne measursing results shows that the signal laser linewidth is around 26.5MHz, close to the Fourier-transform-limit, and the output signal laser beam quality factor M2 is less than 1.2. In order to further increase the single frequency 2.05μm pulsed laser output energy to meet the requirements of airborne and spaceborne lidar applications, an OPA system is designed to boost the pulse energy of 2.05μm single-frequency pulsed signal laser. Under the plane wave approximation, considering the fundamental wave loss and phase mismatch model, the relationships between the frequency doubling efficiency and the nonlinear drive as well as the phase mismatch is analyzed, and it is pointed out that using the optimal pump spot and the optimum crystal length are key to obtain high frequency doubling efficiency. Based on plane wave approximation and phase mismatch model, the relationships between sum frequency efficiency and fundamental frequency photon number mixing ratio, fundamental frequency intensity and phase mismatch are simulated and discussed. The characteristics of different frequency doubling crystals and sum frequency crystals are compared. Based on the technical method of extra-cavity cascaded LBO crystals frequency doubling and sum frequency, the experiment and output characteristics of high energy 355nm single frequency pulsed ultraviolet laser are studied by use of high energy single-frequency 1.06μm pulsed laser as the base frequency source. The 532nm single-frequency pulse green light output with a maximum single pulse energy of 225mJ was achieved by adopting a fundamental frequency laser with repetition rate of 30Hz and pulse energy of 418mJ. The frequency doubling efficiency is 54% and the output 532nm laser beam quality factor M2 is measured to be about 2.5. The 532nm green laser pulse duration is about 10.8ns. The single-frequency 355nm pulsed ultraviolet laser output with pulse energy of 226mJ is obtained from the sum frequency crystal. The conversion efficiency from fundamental wave to the ultraviolet light is 55%, and the measured 355nm UV laser beam quality factor M2 is about 3.0 with pulse width of about 12.2ns. In order to obtain a higher energy single-frequency 355nm UV laser, a 100Hz 1064nm single-frequency laser with single pulse energy of 772mJ is used as the fundamental frequency source, and the cascaded frequency doubler and sum frequency module generates 289mJ 355nm single-frequency UV pulse laser. The high-energy 355nm single-frequency UV pulse laser obtained from the experiment has the potential to be applied in the spaceborne direct detection Doppler wind lidar.
