Abstract
A new generation of continuous-wave optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) has appeared in the last few years as a coherent source that possesses an unique combination of advantages. After considerable development efforts such OPOs can now provide powerful (10 - 250 mW) coherent radiation over a very wide range of infrared wavelengths (0.8-4.0 μn), featuring extremely narrow line-width (<50 kHz), continuous tunability (several GHz), and good long-term stability (<100 MHz frequency drift per hour, <5% power drift per hour).1−3
