Abstract
Optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) providing widely tunable output in the femtosecond regime have been demonstrated. There is a strong motivation to make these devices more accessible to the general scientific community. The continuous wave (cw) synchronously-pumped nature of these femtosecond OPOs imposes stringent requirements on the pump-source laser.
