Abstract
We demonstrate that injection seeding a pulsed optical parametric osci llator with frequency modulated cw light with a modulation period equa l to the cavity round-trip time produces pulses that have the same mod ulated character as the seed. A sensitivity of 10(-3) was demonstrated for these pulses in frequency-modulated absorption measurements. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
