Abstract
A LiNbO3 optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped at 930 nm shows a wide phase-matching curve. Each pulse produced by the OPO has a very broad natural linewidth, from 1480 to 1800 nm for the signal and from 1950 to 2550 nm for the idler. The emission wavelength is controlled thanks to an electrically tunable Fabry–Perot interferometer inserted into the OPO cavity. The signal wavelength is electrically tuned in the range 1450–1850 nm without crystal rotation.Keywords
