title = "Intense, tunable subpicosecond and femtosecond pulses in the visible and infrared, generated by optical parametric oscillators",
abstract = "Two versions of the singly resonant parametric oscillator (OPO) are investigated, synchronously pumped by microsecond pulse trains of a feedback controlled Nd:glass laser. The first setup utilizing a LiNbO3 crystal generates narrow-band, sub-ps pulses with tuning range 1.35 - 2.11 μm and 5% conversion efficiency. The second OPO-system applies a BBO specimen and a novel double pass pump geometry with partial group delay compensation. Broadly tunable pulses are generated in the wavelength range 0.7 - 1.8 μm with duration between 160 and 260 fs and energy conversion of approximately 3%. Steep pulse wings are observed with 1/e decay time of ≅ 90 fs. Under special conditions parametric pulses as short as 65 ± 7 fs are obtained.",
