A high power 2 μm femtosecond laser source is demonstrated by a degenerate doubly resonant optical parametric oscillator (DROPO), which is synchronously-pumped by a home-built Yb:YAG Kerr-lens mode-locked thin-disk laser, emitting pulses at wavelength of 1030 nm with a pulse duration of 270 fs, 25 W output power and 32.5 MHz repetition rate. By using a dither-free scheme which utilizes a "parasitic" sum-frequency generation (SFG) of the signal and pump intracavity as error signal, we stabilize our degenerate DROPO. A stable output power of 4.9 W at degeneracy is observed with a pump power of 18.7 W, which results in a conversion efficiency of 26%. The long-term stability measurement of the power over 40 minutes showed a root mean square (RMS) power noise of 1.1%.
