Abstract
A tunable quasi phase-matched optical parametric oscillator synchronou sly pumped at 1.047 mu m is reported. The signal was tuned from 1.33 t o 1.45 mu m, corresponding to a calculated idler tuning range of 2.67- 4.86 mu m. Average signal powers of up to 100mW and pulse durations of 3.2ps were obtained.
