Abstract
In the past, singly resonant optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) have been pumped with highpeak-power short-pulse lasers, which have made stable, single-mode, and narrow linewidth OPO operation difficult. The recent development of single-frequency cw diode laser-pumped Nd:YAG lasers and long-pulse amplifiers for those lasers has made possible a new generation of singly resonant OPOs.
