High-power, variable repetition rate, picosecond optical parametric oscillator pumped by an amplified gain-switched diode

We demonstrate a picosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) that is synchronously pumped by a fiber-amplified gain-switched laser diode. At 24W of pump power, up to 7.3W at 1.54µm and 3.1W at 3.4µm is obtained in separate output beams. The periodically poled MgO-doped LiNbO<sub>3</sub&g...
