Efficient, low-threshold synchronously-pumped parametric oscillation in periodically-poled lithium niobate over the 1.3 μm to 5.3 μm range

TL;DR: In this paper, a synchronously pumped femtosecond optical parametric oscillator based on periodically poled LiNbO3 was proposed for tunable in the mid infrared.

TL;DR: In this article, a singly resonant, synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator (SPOPO) based on CdSe has produced idler output tuned over the range of 9.1 −9.7 μm, the longest wavelength generated so far to our knowledge from a SPOPO.

TL;DR: The generation of compressed, transform-limited 250-fs pulses, tunable in the near infrared, by means of synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillation in periodically poled lithium niobate results in signal peak powers well in excess of the pump power.

TL;DR: A femtosecond all-fiber laser source incorporating a cw mode-locked Yb-doped silica fiber oscillator and amplifier has been used to synchronously pump an optical parametric oscillator based on periodically poled lithium niobate.

TL;DR: Periodically poled lithium niobate has been used in a singly resonant optical parametric oscillator pumped by a cw mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser.

TL;DR: A high-repetition-rate femtosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) that was broadly tunable in the mid infrared and based on quasi-phase matching in periodically poled lithium niobate is described.

TL;DR: A singly resonant optical parametric oscillator is reported that uses a periodically poled LiNbO(3) crystal and is synchronously pumped by a cw mode-locked 1.047-microm Nd:YLF laser.
