Abstract
The generation of tunable ultrashort pulses in the near- to mid-infrared is of considerable interest for many applications in time-resolved spectroscopy. The optical parametric oscillator (OPO) represents a highly effective technique for the generation of such radiation. In particular, high-repetition-rate OPOs synchronously-pumped by the self-mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser have been established as highly practical sources of femtosecond pulses for the visible and the near- to mid-infrared.
