Abstract
A Ti:sapphire-pumped, high-repetition-rate, femtosecond optical parametric oscillator based on potassium niobate is described. Signal pulses as short as 90 fs have been recorded, and idler pulses as short as 105 fs have been measured. Tuning from 1.2 to 1.4 μm in the signal branch and from 1.76 to 2.2 μm in the idler branch has been achieved. Output powers as high as 300 mW have been measured at the signal wavelength.Keywords
