Abstract
This paper describes the performance of a system that combines the virtues of optical parametric oscillators and solid-state tunable lasers to obtain high-power continuously tunable single-frequency radiation suitable for efficient extension to new wavelengths and other applications. The work is motivated by the desire to have a single broadly tunable solid-state device that would have excellent frequency control, is near-diffraction limited, and can easily be time-synchronized to other laser pulses.
