Abstract
The operation of a Ti:sapphire-pumped, femtosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on the nonlinear material KTiOPO4 is described. By empirically optimizing the parametric interaction geometry, we have extended the maximum idler wavelength beyond that reported for similar systems. The OPO typically produces 175-fs idler and signal pulses tunable in the ranges of 2.9–3.96 and 1.05–1.16 μm, respectively.
