The invention discloses an intermediate infrared laser device with an tunable inner cavity OPO. The intermediate infrared laser device comprises an LD semiconductor pumping source, an optical fiber coupling system, a laser gain crystal, an air-cooling radiator, a crystal temperature control furnace, a film-coated endoscope and a periodically poled crystal. The film-coated endoscope comprises a front-cavity mirror plane mirror M1, an intracavity focusing lens, an OPO front-cavity mirror plane mirror M2 and a rear-cavity mirror M3. A light source generated by the LD semiconductor pumping source passes through the optical fiber coupling system and is output. The front-cavity mirror plane mirror M1, the laser gain crystal, the intracavity focusing lens, the OPO front-cavity mirror plane mirror M2, the periodically poled crystal and the rear-cavity mirror M3 are sequentially arranged in the output direction of the coupling light source of the optical fiber coupling system in parallel. The laser gain crystal is arranged on the air-cooling radiator. The periodically poled crystal is arranged on the crystal temperature control furnace. The intermediate infrared laser device is simple and compact in structure, low in energy consumption and capable of being miniaturized and fully solidified easily, and can be mounted onboard or on vehicles.
