Synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator driven by a femtosecond mode-locked fiber laser

Abstract

A femtosecond all-fiber laser source incorporating a cw mode-locked Yb-doped silica fiber oscillator and amplifier has been used to synchronously pump an optical parametric oscillator based on periodically poled lithium niobate. The signal output, consisting of 330-fs pulses at a 54-MHz repetition rate and average powers up to 90 mW, was tuned from 1.55 to $1.95 \mathit{\mu }\mathrm{m}$, with a corresponding idler range of $2.30–3.31 \mathit{\mu }\mathrm{m}$.
