Abstract
A watt-level multi-gigahertz (GHz) repetition-rate femtosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) synchronously pumped by a GHz-repetition-rate Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb:CYA laser is demonstrated in this letter. The output signal had a wavelength tuning range from 1.41 to 1.64 μm, a maximum average power of 1.58 W, a minimum pulse duration of 139 fs, and a repetition rate of 1 GHz, while the mid-infrared idler had a wavelength tuning range from 2.8 to 4.0 μm, a maximum average power of 1 W, a minimum pulse duration of 103 fs, and a repetition rate of 1 GHz. Through increasing the cavity length of the OPO by a unit fraction of the cavity length of the pump source, the output signal with repetition rates of 2, 3, and 4 GHz was obtained, respectively, and the output power of each was above 1 W. This work represents the highest, to the best of our knowledge, power of GHz femtosecond OPOs.
期刊介绍：
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
