Abstract
OPOs are often grouped by their temporal characteristics, and recently 10 – 30 ns pulse, 100 fs - 1 ps pulse, and CW OPOs have received the most attention. Here, we report on a mid-infrared OPO driven by a unique pump architecture producing pulses in the 0.1 – 1 μs regime. This temporal regime offers the potential of narrower linewidths without the complexities associated with CW OPOs.
