Abstract

Femtosecond pulses with idler (signal) wavelengths tunable from 2.5-4.1 mu m (1027-1195 nm) have been generated from a Ti:sapphire-pumped parametric oscillator based on KTA and configured with non-collinear phasematching for partial compensation of Poynting-vector walkoff. The average idler output power at 4 mu m was typically around 10 mW with a maximum of 110 mW measured near 2.5 mu m Interferometric autocorrelation of the idler indicates near-transform-limited pulses of duration 94 fs at 3.5 mu m.
