Abstract
We demonstrate a tunable nanosecond optical parametric oscillator with a narrowed signal spectrum. This was done by use of a volume Bragg grating based retroreflector, which makes the tuning simple and yields a compact design. Using periodically poled as the nonlinear medium, we generated of signal energy at with a tuning range of and a bandwidth of when the oscillator was pumped at with of energy.
