Abstract
The second harmonic generation of the signal or sum frequency generati on of the signal and pump in a beta-BaB2O4 crystal in the cavity of an optical parametric oscillator pumped synchronously by a mode-locked T i:sapphire laser is reported. Visible femtosecond pulses with an avera ge power of 330 mW are generated with a pumping power of 1.3 W. Broad tunability is achieved from 426 to 483 nm and 520 to 585 nm using a si ngle mirror set.
