Abstract

Continuous-wave singly resonant intracavity optical parametric oscillators are attractive sources for generating high-power, narrow-linewidth, stable radiation in the near-infrared. The flexibility of the design permits coarse frequency tuning by incorporating different nonlinear materials within the laser cavity or by tuning the Ti:sapphire (TIS) laser. The TIS lasers are longitudinal pumped by low-power argon-ion lasers and configured to accommodate two intracavity tightly focused spots. The extension to longer wavelengths by use of new nonlinear crystals and solid-state pump sources is presented.
