Abstract
We report the operation of a β‐BaB2O4 singly resonant optical parametric oscillator broadly tunable in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions of the spectrum. This optical parametric oscillator was pumped at 266 nm and was continously tunable throughout 0.33–1.37 μm. A novel cavity design was implemented which has applicability to other parametric oscillators. The oscillation threshold of this device was measured and compared to the calculated result.Keywords
