Abstract
A LiNbO3 optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped at 930 nm shows a wide phase-matching curve. Each pulse produced by the OPO has a very b road natural linewidth, from 1480 to 1800 nm for the signal and from 1 950 to 2550 nm for the idler. The emission wavelength is controlled th anks to an electrically tunable Fabry-Perot interferometer inserted in to the OPO cavity. The signal wavelength is electrically tuned in the range 1450-1850 nm without crystal rotation. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
