摘要: We describe dispersion compensation of a cw mode-locked optical parametric oscillator based on thin crystal KTiOPO4 pumped intracavity by standard colliding-pulse dye laser, The device provides potential tunability from 0.72 to 4.5 μm with milliwatt outputs. Transform-limited pulses should be possible throughout the tuning range;here we report pulse widths 105 fsec at 840 nm and 108 Hz. Active stabilization cavity is also discussed.
