Adaptively shaped mid-infrared pulses from a synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator

Adaptively shaped, sub-picosecond pulses at 3.4µm are obtained from a synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator based on periodically poled lithium niobate. A simulated annealing algorithm is used in a learning loop to gain adaptive control of the midinfrared idler pulse shape via shaping o...
