摘要
The operation of a picosecond synchronously intracavity pumped optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is reported. A magnesium doped lithium niobate crystal (MgO:PPLN), periodically poled, is used as the optical parametric oscillator crystal coupling the pump and the resonant signal cavities. The active medium of the pump cavity is a a diode pumped passively mode-locked Nd:YVO4 crystal. Continuous mode-locked operation was achieved, tunable from 1531 to 1554 nm by adjusting the OPO crystal from 31 to 55 degrees C. The spectral width of the generated radiation was 2 nm.
